I have recently looked to build my own websites and the web editor which I found most friendly was kompozer. It is a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) web editor and has a very simple interface. Despite having a simple interface it has many good features.

Notepad.

i don't trust WYSIWYG editors anymore. I tried out Dreamweaver a few years ago (like 5+) and it was awful. It completely mangled all of the code into a huge mess until even it couldnt decipher it eventually. Ever since then I've just used Notepad or Notepad++. How far have WSIWYG editors come? It's been a long time since I tried one, but are they still an utter mess on the coding end?

The only good one I know of anymore is Nvu and it's too old to conform to any modern standards, plus it's glitchy. It's still good for basic HTML though, it produces the cleanest code I've seen from any of them. With PHP or CSS, it falls dramatically short though. It will confuse Nvu to no end and your code will be formatted inside and out until it becomes basic html again, or just removes the block of code altogether.

So, WSIWYG editors are ancient and unreliable, still.
