Thanks for the link to Bluefish. It looks quite alright, I guess it is flaunted on the web as being awesome. It suffers from a bit of the same design flaws as Quassel, but it looks like a potent editor. Thank you!.
IMHO, Quanta+ was the best website editor ever but that's all in the past.
Sad but true. I too liked quanta+.
I wasn't terribly thrilled with Bluefish at first. It had to grow on me. Once I learned how to make my own custom tags with the snippets editor and figured out that I could group all my most used tags on the quick bar tab it started to grow on me. It's far from perfect but I feel it's the best of what's available.
Ultimately the value of any software is its utility. So many of the FOSS applications come out of the *NIX world and the developers have *NIX assumptions that are built into the way the application works. For example: I use darktable. It makes sense to me. The developers are responsive. I've tried using photoshop at a friend's site; he's a photographer and swears by it, but the assumptions about how to interact, what's where and so forth are just ... different. Its not that there's a different GUI; I've dealt with GUI- changes and a GUI is really there with all the menus that you cane explore. HOW-TO books for photoshop, sites on the web, are plentiful. perhaps they are needed. But I find darktable simply 'makes sense' to me. Case in point: I have konq/dolphin with a tab on my ~/Photographs/ and can click on the RAW and darktable comes up with it ready to edit. I asked my friend how to do that with photoshop and his favourite file browser. he didn't know and it wasn't in any of the 5 books he had. Maybe it is possible, but it wasn't as simple or obvious as it is with Linux. Or perhaps with Linux I just now the patterns so the doing of it is obvious to me. This guy was older than me and had bee using Windows since the mid 1980s, W/3.1, he tells me. He said that was slow and unresponsive compared to competitive products. But he kept using it. I asked about OS/2. "Nah, never tried it".
