I could be wrong, but I don't think Composer has been updated for anything
in probably a decade.
I think that's the case. I know that several years ago, I remember
noting in a post that if Composer isn't supported within Seamonkey, I'd
prefer that it get dropped completely, so as not to perpetuate the
fiction that it's supported. I guess the devs have a reason for keeping
it in, perhaps because it's easier than removing it.
I believe that I've seen notes indicating that the devs have aspirations
of replacing the composer with Kompozer. That's also a Mozilla-derived
tool, and I think it's also no longer in development, but it is newer
than the composer element in Seamonkey.
BlueGriffon (http://bluegriffon.org/) is the primary Mozilla composition
tool now, and that's in active development -- the most recent release
was in October.
I maintain a handful of docs in HTML, because I find it useful to make
content available to readers through a browser. I used to use the
composer, and one of the nice things about having it in Seamonkey is
that I can be viewing a an HTML doc in Seamonkey, and press CTRL-E to
have the editor immediately available. However, I've found that I like
Kompozer better, and where there's more capacity. I have also played
some with BlueGriffon, although there's just enough UI quirks there that
I'm more comfortable with Kompozer.
However, I think any of these are for more basic editing, and if you
have a site that's extensive enough to use CSS, then you want some other
tool.
