Screem and Bluefish are basically text/html editors - no WYSIWYG
Which is fine if that is what you want.

I have found Quanta and Nvu to be pretty nice.

SeaMonkey isn't a fork, it *is* Mozilla by another name (because it is not
an official Mozilla Foundation Product anymore).

Nvu/Kompozer is a derivative of Composer, and I think Nvu is a little
more advanced - I don't think that all its improvements made it back
into later Composer versions.

http://www.bluegriffon.org will be the real successor Nvu .
