Freeway probably didn’t make the cut because it’s not an HTML editor,
but there you go!

Correction - It is actually best WYSIWYG html editor.

Their five are: Komposer, iWeb, Dreamweaver, Expression Web and Flux.

I’d say Freeway deserves a spot on that list.

I disagree. Freeway is a design tool, a desktop publishing
application. It is most assuredly not an HTML editor. Try opening an
existing HTML page using Freeway and see if you concur…

I’m not trying to be argumentative, and I agree Freeway should get a
look-in, but Freeway generates HTML. It doesn’t edit it.

Saying that iWeb got on the list as a HTML editor =:-0

I don’t think the author of the article actually means “Editor” in this case - I mean, iWeb is in the list!

That’s what tipped me off to adding Freeway. I was going to suggest Smultron until I thought about iWeb not being an editor.

Why would Freeway not be considered a WYSIWYG editor? Sure, Freeway produces html, it’s own html. It doesn’t edit external html (unless you edit markup in Freeway) but I would think Freeway is an editor because every WYSIWYG move you make in Freeway is in a sense “editing” the html you will be generating. That’s why I use Freeway. It allows me to visually “edit” what is generated.

I understand what you’re saying but by definition an editor is all
about working directly with code; character-by-character/line-by-line
if necessary. Despite the fact that you’re altering the code structure
through a WYSIWYG UI in FW by pushing boxes around you’re still not
allowed to manually edit the code - all the code - which is the key
difference. And using actions or markup items to modify the generated
code is most definitely not the same as working with an editor. If the
app doesn’t allow you to open and edit an html file then it’s simply
not an editor at its most basic level.
