FOSS alternative to Adobe Dreamweaver

I know GIMP and OpenOffice Draw can both easily supplant Adobe Photoshop, but what about Dreamweaver? Is there any FOSS alternative that is at least as full-featured as GIMP?

( Bluefish , Quanta Plus ).

Other suggestions : Seamonkey , Kompozer.

Of all those four, I think I like KompoZer the best -- if it were able to run as a regular user and not only as root.

Kenny_Strawn, I agree with you. I really like Kompozer.

I have been able to run Kompozer 0.7.x as root and user on both Slackware 13.0 and Debian Lenny and v. 0.083b on Ubuntu 10.10 as sudo and as user. In all three cases, I installed with root permissions and didn't do anything special, so I'm inclined to think that, if you can't run Kompozer as user, there's more going on here than meets the eye.

Kompozer : Is supposed to run by an 'unprivileged user' on any Linux OS.

There may be something unusual on your set up ?

Well, I don't know of any that is close to dreamweaver. It is really a top of the line product and you know that by the price.

I agree that Komposer should normally be able to be used by a properly allowed user. It shouldn't need root.

For anything close see this.
