Is Nvu any good?

When i first started my website [http://koffee.bravehost.com] i did it 
in openoffice (a terrible idea). From there, i just patched the errors 
that open-office left behind and expanded from there. I no longer use 
open-office for my website anymore (i use notepad++) because it compiled 
the HTML in caps

dreamweaver and nvu provide way more opts then what open-office did, but 
dreamweaver provides mroe opts then what nvu does (as in the IDE..in 
nvu, it doesnt look like you have a split code/design view as 
dreamweaver does)
