I've never liked the HTML coding of Netscape Composer... much before I
knew there is something like valid HTML (http://www.w3.org/) and that
neither Netscape Composer nor Microsoft FrontPage Express can
handle... anyhow I've realized that M$ products follow better the
standards than Netscape and that are more stable too.
I've tried other composers but I'm not using any WYSIWYG composer
right now. Wordpad (or any text editor, including the one I begin
with: pico) as well as HTML-Tidy (W3 too), are my current tools for
developing. For convertion from large text I use either Word (wich
produces awfull HTML) or FrontPage Express, a lot of search and
replace, some of hand optimizations and Tidy.
Anyhow, most of my work is in plain text, word and handwritting notes.

I would like to concentrate in content, I would make things a lot
quickly. But I have a tendency of make things look perfectly (both
the HTML and the rendered page). Even if I know that a good page is
made of content and usability, not of fancy graphical design.

agree... but I don't always have computer at hand... or at times it
seems easier to thing over paper than over screen.
