No one has mentioned Amaya or Screem. Maybe Screem isn't a WYSISWYG, but
still an excellent web-authoring app.
Amaya is a little quirky, but still a WYSIWYG editor.

IBM used to have a WebSphere app called HomeBuilder, but I don't think
it's available anymore. That's a shame, because, from what I remember it
worked well.
CoffeeCup claimed to be doing a *nix version, but I could find none on
their site.
Thare are a few others, not as polished or kept up as well. Still maybe
worth a look. Check out getdeb.com.
