Nvu is an offshoot of the Composer component of Mozilla. It's not too  
bad -- it uses the Gecko rendering engine like the rest of the  
Mozilla products, but we found that it did odd things with certain  
aspects of editing. More a bug than a design flaw, but I suppose  
that's something that you might need to be aware of -- it's not as  
mature as the more powerful programs you have mentioned.

That said, as a replacement for Composer, it's fantastic. That, and  
it runs everywhere -- Windows, Mac and other UNIXes.
