Dropping support for Mozilla suite?

[Bryan Pizzuti]

Unless one prefers nano. :)  Personally I HATE vi and emacs (Yes, UNIX
sinner I am, sue me) but I'm stuck with them because UNIX and Linux
married themselves to those a long time ago. For simple text editing, I
don't see the advantantages of vi and emacs over nano. 

However, I DO see the advantages of a WYSIWIG HTML designer over a text
mode one. Some of my background is graphic design, and I have a better
time doing site designing with a visual tool (at least initially;
usually I'll use a text editor to clean up the HTML afterwards at
least). 

I think some have forgotten that OpenOffice.org Writer has support for
saving as HTML. That would be a viable replacement for the Mozilla
Composer, and it wouldn't even require additional space on the CD. ;)
