Can anyone here recommend a Linux website development tool with the same sort of capabilities that, say, Dreamweaver has? I'm not looking for a clone, only for something comparable.
Having been in the business since the boom and bust of the 90's, I will make a comment here.

There is nothing that compares to GoLive on OS X for front end Web Site development!
Linux is great for database server / enterprise bean / php serving of relational data, especially with all the SSL secure capabilities, but GoLive on OS X is the drug of choice for the presentation layer, hands down.

If its that good and with mac OS X being bsd inside, why dont they just port to *nix?
Most likely it's because of licensing problems... or maybe not. In any case, I prefer Dreamweaver 'though I haven't use it in WYSIWYG mode :p Use Quanta -- highly recommended (now part of kdewebdev3) -- - E - on SUSE 9.1 | blackbox 0.70b2 | Panasonic CF-L1 Buffalo WLI-PCM-L11GP | copperwalls was here ;) "Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth." - Matthew 5:3
