Very strangely, IBM Homepage Builder and its replacement Rational Web Developer are not even listed as HTML editor in wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_WYSIWYG_HTML_editors Which means they are probably rarely used in productional environment. If IBM Rational Web Developer for Linux is as good as (or better than) IBM Homepage Builder, it deserve a space in Linux community because other Linux website creation tools are more or less too different from commercial solutions like GoLive and Dreamweaver. Problem of IBM is they often have good product and drop them too easily. I remember I had IBM Homepage Builder for Linux CDROM as a give-away from an IBM event in my college days.
