6 Open Source Alternative To Adobe Dreamweaver For Windows-Xp
Developers are always fan of Adobe Dreamweaver including me. I started using Dreamweaver since Adobe launched CS3 versionand i totally enjoyed using Dreamweaver but since i open lot of applications, it was hard to work with Dreamweaver, plus i’m familiar working without WYSIWYG editor. But again i’m saying is that the Dreamweaver is a great application but maybe its not suitable for me. So here is the list of some great Open Source Alternatives to Adobe Dreamweaver for the developers who really love Open Source Apps. If you know any other great opensource editor, then please give the link in comments.

Amaya Editor/Browser
Platforms: Windows | Mac | Linux Site: w3.org/Amaya/
Amaya is a Web editor, i.e. a tool used to create and update documents directly on the Web. Browsing features are seamlessly integrated with the editing and remote access features in a uniform environment. This follows the original vision of the Web as a space for collaboration and not just a one-way publishing medium.
Work on Amaya started at W3C in 1996 to showcase Web technologies in a fully-featured Web client. The main motivation for developing Amaya was to provide a framework that can integrate as many W3C technologies as possible. It is used to demonstrate these technologies in action while taking advantage of their combination in a single, consistent environment.
Amaya started as an HTML + CSS style sheets editor. Since that time it was extended to support XML and an increasing number of XML applications such as the XHTML family, MathML, and SVG. It allows all those vocabularies to be edited simultaneously in compound documents.

If you’re a Mac user and a non-programmer (you don’t like any of the above), you should by try Karelia’s Sandvox application. It’s a whole new approach to website design. Why suffer through the whole techie learning curve! Make the whole website development process easy for yourself.
Thats True.
Infact, i think that Mac is very creative platform and thats what developers and designers need. But that doesn’t mean that windows is lame. They both are different and you cant compare them based on Web Editors.
PLUS here we are listing some Open Source alternatives to Dreamweaver just for WinXp
Since development on Nvu stopped in 2005, I don’t feel it should be included as an alternative. Kompozer is its most current incarnation and should suffice.
OH! thanks for giving info about NVU. I will remove Nvu from list, But Kompozer is opensource and i think users like them too. So Kompozer will be in the list.
If you know any new OpenSource Editors, please write here, I would love to list them here.
