Available on Mac Windows

The 33rd most popular text editor/IDE on Mac OS X

Nvu (New view, pronounced 'N-view') is a WYSIWYG HTML editor, based on the Composer component of Mozilla Application Suite and Gecko 1.7. It is intended to be an open source equivalent to proprietary software like Microsoft FrontPage and Macromedia Dreamweaver, and is a common WYSIWYG editor for Linux. As a WYSIWYG editor, it is designed to be easy for novice users and does not require any knowledge of HTML or CSS to use. The project was started by and sponsored by Linspire. Linspire hired Daniel Glazman, former Netscape Communications Corporation employee and CEO/Founder of Disruptive Innovations, to be lead developer. Nvu is available for Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows, and it can be built successfully on any platform with the Netscape Portable Runtime. Nvu may sometimes be spelled 'N|vu' to simulate the line in the logo, much like CNET is often written as 'C|Net'.

    This is actually KompoZer which is based on Nvu. It's a handy and free WYSIWYG editor. I would definitely recommend this program. I use in on both my websites.
