FREE Web Authoring Software.. Nvu or WebDwarf ?

[Petef56]

I'm trying to choose a FREE web authoring software and have already
experimented a bit with Nvu v1.0 but I'm also considering WebDwarf v2.0.

So far I like Nvu becasue it's user interface is similar to Frontpage
and I intend to do a good amount of manual HTML coding, so I want
to be able to quickly switch between a HTML code view and a Website
view. I plan to use Filezilla for publishing, so I'm not concerned about
any FTP features in my web authoring software.

Ok with all that said, I heard that Nvu is a bit buggy and the last
release was v1.0 in 2005. So can someone tell me what kinds of bugs
can I expect when using Nvu?

If I plan to do a good amount of manual HTML coding, is Nuv better
than WebDwarf?

How do WebDwarf and Nvu compare?

Look at the Mozilla Seamonkey suite. The Composer module is pretty decent.

Ok that's another option, thanks.

I'd still like to know what kind of problems to expect with Nvu. At first glance, Nvu
seems to be a great program for my purposes, but I read it's a bit buggy, so I'd really
like to know in advance which features are buggy so I can avoid using them. If it turns
out that I'm not needing the buggy features, then all the better. Hoefully someone
with some Nvu expereince can provide some insights.

NVU was designed to be a alternative to dreamweaver. Folks who are used to dreamweaver tend to find that it doesn't operate quite the same.
