I believe in the opposite: Writing HTML is learned in a few hours. At least
for "This is my average homepage, my name is Toby and here are my fav'
links". But this might be personal: I really miss a good web-document
manager on the Amiga. I started to write one, but have not the time to
seriously do it.
I create web pages by using GoldED, HSC, makefiles WebLint and REBOL, btw.
;-)

I would not mind - if it would be a real killer...
But I do not want to be a contra-productive:
When I first saw MetalWeb I was positivly surprised. It was at v2.x then. I
still have it installed, now in the latest v3.x version, demo only, and
with some extra work (make elements placable horizontally, not only
vertically, a stronger layout (forms have just too much space in between,
but could this be a MUI setting...?) it could be nice for making NC3 even
better.
What I really miss at the moment on the Amiga are web-tools that safe me
money, because they safe my time !!! I would like to see a real http-proxy
for example. It is much more better than a browser's cache, IMO.
Besides I am missing all these nice goodies, MIAMI users have. I am talking
about the 3rd party tools.
Also I would like to see AmTerm work with duart.device 0...... a
bug-report, I got no answer on none of the lists, btw.....
