For me, a regular text editor (vi etc.) is the best way to write clean
HTML/CSS code.
I don't know what professionals (webpage developers) use, but I
haven't found any  WYSIWYG Composer on Solaris/Linux or Windows that
makes me more productive, except for simplest pages.

I am not against WYSIWYG tools, not remotely a vi/emacs zealot.
I just feel I can deal with the HTML/CSS language better than a
composer, and I hate the code generated by a typical HTML composer :-)
Maybe I haven't seen the right one yet.

However, I understand a HTML WYSIWYG composer is a must for broader
audience, when Solaris is used as a desktop OS, in the future :)
