is there anything like dreamweaver out there that is free and or opensource that does the same thing?
when coding tools rule. don't want tospend time screwing with the way that a form or wahtever works. just that it produces desired output quickly and with little effort. so, i'm looking for an HTML WYSIWYG editor.
any ideas?

found one. it's pretty sweet: http://www.nvu.com/index.php
i suggest everyone support them. i found them by another link (i can't remembre it off hand but it's a GREAT website) and this thing isn't bad.
i can do source, preview and wizards. so i'm happy. oh, and it's fast and tiny. i just wish that ti didn't ugly up the source like it's doing *ewies* but it's better than dreamweaver. so i'm more than happy about that aspect

FCKEditor
TinyMCE
Edit: FCKEditor is pretty good for making clean XHTML - never tried TinyMCE though.
Edit2: Sorry - I completely misread your post. The two I've suggested are web-based, not OS based.

Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

it's a pretty decent app. gets it done really quickly and there is some fussiness her and there but it's good enough for quick dev and that's what i need
What might be important to know first: what needs do you have for the tool you're looking for? Dreamweaver is a big program with lots of stuff in it. But depending on what you really want to do, there are so many other options.
I use HTMLkit for example (free). Very simple to use, but has a lot of features if you need them (I only use 5% or so). I just checked and found out it does have a preview switch, so you can preview the html page you're building in the same window (I normally just use my browser and hit F5).
Or do you want to "design" in whysywig mode and let the program write the code for you?
