It adds so much junk to a page and is annoying to use. I would say that the program to test against is Dreamweaver/Homesite. And indeed there aren't many that do it so well. Quanta has come a long way I must admit, but that said I would recommend leaning html, if you don't know it already and use one of the text editors. There are a number of projects on Linux that are attempting to produce a Dreamweaver clone, but it is amazing how simple it is to produce beautiful pages with html and css, without all that gui clutter. I say that from having relied heavily on Front Page in the past. What I would recommend if you don't get Quanta to install is to learn VIM and attach the html file type plugin. Or if you want a really cool enviroment nxml is amazing. If you are afraid of such a move but want to give it a try I will be glad to help you make the move. If you are interested write me off list and I can give details. best wishes Aaron > but I failed to install > Quanta!
