So, I guess the bottom line is that the best web authoring software 
available for any OS is just going to die off due to a lack of developer 
interest.

Bluefish is a pretty fair start on a good piece of software. Not even 
close to Quanta, but a start.

Just got Amaya installed and haven't had time to play with it much so 
can't really comment. It doesn't look as intuitive as Quanta at a first 
glance.

KompoZer is another fair start but it has some pretty bad habits.

Anyone else have any other suggestions?
