Actually WYSIWYG is VERY BAD for web page creation. People can resize their

addition your WYSIWYG is probably not even rendering the same as your
favorite browsers.
As annoying as it may be at the start, the best way is probably to edit
with a text editor and have a browser (or several browsers) rendering the
file.
Yup. I had a short-lived job once cutting and pasting various entries into
pre-existing web pages. They insisted upon Dreamweaver. Then the stuff simply
looked awful or out of place in the browser.
Whatever tool one uses (Nvu is a nice opensource tool!), one MUST test pages,
their scripts and forms and all, in several browsers. IE, Firefox/Mozilla
varients, Opera, Dillo, Konqueror, etc. It is surprizing after all the
development that has gone into these things that no two work the same and no
one works 100% with the javascript or whatever. Pain in the butt.
Though I also try to compose with most all browsers in mind, it's only a
pain if you're trying to please ALL visitors. The (unfortunate?) truth
of the matter is though, that Internet Explorer (IE6 and now IE7) are
still the browsers used by most of the visitors out there, with Firefox
coming in a distant 2nd place. So developing a web page/site is a bit
easier keeping that in mind. Here's one web site with browser
statistics - http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
