Ken,
Thanks for providing the list. I think the question is: Are this tools
powerful enough for a web developer?
If user wants to edit a simple HTML page, staroffice (or even vi/emacs)
can do the job. But to edit a complicated web page,
user may need more powerful tools such as Dreamweaver.
I've discussed this issue with some web developers in the Shanghai Sun
Tech Day. They told me they would rather use vi than Nvu
to edit their web page because Nvu is not powerful enough as DreamWeaver
and vi is very fast and easy to use to edit a simple HTML page.
So I think we may have two choices:
1. Provide a HTML editor such as Nvu in our OpenSolaris build and hope
user will give us some feedback.
If these feedbacks are positive, we can consider support Nvu in our
official release.
2. Port Wine on solaris and user can run DreamWeaver ( or other HTML
editor) on it. ( I don't know if there is
any legal issue about it).
