Composer is extremely old and hasn't been looked after in many
years. I'd suggest, if you want something this simple, that you look
into BlueGriffon, which is still currently being developed.

Given that situation, and since BlueGriffon is a "next-generation Web
editor
based on the rendering engine of Firefox," how about the developers start
bundling /that/ instead of Composer?
Sure, take out the part that the rest of us use for what we do, and
replace with something that suits you better. Composer works perfectly
for what it does, ideal for small simple web pages, HTML documents, etc.
If someone wants additional features by all means identify what suits
you and go use it. Contribute time and/or money to get it added to
seamonkey. NOTE: added not swapped.
You were given the web site, can't you even be bothered to go get the
tool yourself and not break the workflow of hundreds or thousands of
other users who are using the tool you want to remove. Why don't you go
BUY one of the commercial tools if they suit you better?
This isn't about my personal preferences.
The developers and other experts here have told us that Composer is an
obsolete product that has not been maintained for years, and many users
have complained of its many shortcomings. I don't need to make that
case; others have done it eloquently.
If there's a widely used, modern Mozilla product that does the job much
better and is being maintained regularly, why shouldn't I suggest
bundling it with our program? Who knows, you yourself might even like
the upgrade. How about /you/ give BlueGriffon a test drive and see if
you like it, then post back with an informed review? Quoting the
website: "It's free to download (current stable version is 1.6.2) and is
available on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux."
