its just my opinion.
validate code does not mean it is 'good code'. when i see
something like <h1></h1> its valid, but it unnecessariliy
blows up the html file. and wysiwyg editors tend to create
such things, at least when i used to have them in use
(5 years back). creating code out of clicking around
with the mouse is a non-trivial task and this is why
none of these kind of software creates code as good as
one you write manually with your hand.
when i play with layout ideas i take a pencil and a sheet
of paper. and then i turn it into code, with my favourite
editor. thats the game.

but, there are wysiwig editors for freebsd. just take
a look in the ports collection (bluefish and quanta
i remember, but i am not sure).

greets, josef
