The interesting thing is that you can pretty much use it on any level of 
expertise. I think most people never really find a number of the features or 
never get around to using them. For instance you can use templates for files, 
text snippets, linked files and file structures and you can create 
"abbreviations" for longer text strings and complete them with Ctrl-J. When 
you feel comfortable with what you know then explore a little and you will 
find new ways to be more productive. ;-)

Comparatively speaking Quanta's feature set is well beyond htmlkit, but 
because much of it's complexity is below the surface it takes time to see it. 
The key difference for markup is that Quanta manages it's functionality 
through a parse engine that can deal with any XML dialect. You can load an 
XML DTD from an online source and auto complete and real time validate and 
XML file. I'm not aware of this functionality in Windows HTML editors.

As Andras mentioned that is an external library. Most of the time if Quanta is 
crashing there is something wrong with your system setup. In this case at 
least the bug isn't something you see in normal use. If you do see a crash 
ask here or use the bug feature in the help menu.

That sounds like fun. ;-) You can manually remove these from the configuration 
file. Typically the $KDEHOME directory is ~/.kde. (hidden by the leading dot)
$KDEHOME/share/config/quantrc
Close Quanta, open the config file, edit and save. When you open Quanta it 
should be fixed. You can also delete this file but you will lose any settings 
and window placements.
