Composer is a component of the the Netscape Suite, the Mozilla Suite,
and the SeaMonkey Suite. That is the chronology of
development/evolution. The only one actively in development is now
SeaMonkey. However, I don't know how much, if any, dev work is being
done on Composer.
When Mozilla.Org dropped development of the Mozilla Suite, Daniel
Glazman started a project to build a stand-alone Composer and called it
Nvu. Apparently the Nvu project is now dead.
Kompozer is built on the same underlying rendering engine as Composer
and Nvu. The main difference is that Kompozer is in active development.
Use Kompozer as it's the most advanced of the three.
