Why use vBulletin? Lets use mailing lists.
Why make an easy to use video editor, people can pay $99999 for adobe professional video suite 9, as the videos that come from easier to use video editors are lower quality. Why make an ipod? people can play their music at home on the stereo, after all mp3 is usually lower quality. If we extend on the premise that doing something by hand is easier than by automation: We make tools to make our lives easier, if a dreamweaver like editor can help a simple site be easier to make than so be it. I'm just wishes for some of their better features to be adopted.
PS - To Frontpage haters, please don't think I'm asking for a Linux WYSIWYG editor to be exactly like Frontpage that produces horrible code and all.
OpenOffice Writer/Web () (current aren't interested in expanding their html editor)Īlso, list the features in this thread you'd like to see any of the above Linux web editors adopt so others can see what features we liked in editors like Frontpage that the Linux editors don't have, or we couldn't find. The current true WYSIWYG web editors for Linux that I know of are:Ĥ. If you support the idea of this campaign, please voice your support in this thread and also help campaign to the existing Linux web editor projects to add more Frontpage-like features to their editors. I filed a suggestion for this to OpenOffice to improve on their simple html editor app (which many think is the most Frontpage-like web editor), but they declined () saying they don't currently have the resources to add additions to their HTML editor. I'm starting this thread to campaign to the current Linux WYSIWYG html editor projects to adopt some of the features that made editors like Frontpage a favorite among amateur web builders, such as myself. However, I and other amateur web builders who favored amateur-oriented web builders like Frontpage feel that the few WYSIWYG web editors available for Linux just don't quite match up enough to user-friendliness and convenient features found in editors like Frontpage. I'm an amateur who uses Frontpage to build websites for fun and I'm transitioning to Linux to get as Windows-free as I can.
