I like NVU. The latest version has better code than previous versions,
nice and clean. NVU also has a CSS editor built in. You can toggle
between wsiwyg and html too. One thing I don't care for is the default
"text" behavior which inserts a <br> at every carriage return. Simply
choosing "paragragh" from the menu at the top will generate <p> </p>
tags when a carriage return is entered though.

It's free and I suggest those using FP download it and try it out.
