Homesite is similar, but has its drawbacks. You have to pay for it and
it's also an excresence of the Macromedia empire. This brings in many
of Dreamweaver's faults (the idea that everything needs to be done by
boilerplate script fragments) and it's also not clear what their
commercial long-term view of Homesite is. It doesn't look exactly like
a strategic product for them, and there's some indication that it's
really just trying to grab customer for eventually upgrading to DW.
I also don't like DW's approach to "validation" and don't know if
Homesite suffers from the same. A recent editor that advises _against_
using the title attribute because NS4 doesn't support it is just plain
broken.

It's quicker.
It's not restricted by some editor author's idea of mis-reading an
obsolete version of the spec.
