I've heard good things about aptana:

if you like kde gui you can try quanta (you can install also on gnome)
sudo apt-get install quanta
(for me kde is a finger in the ***)
for gnome there's kompozer
sudo apt-get install kompozer
but if you are used to dreamweaver (as am I) that's a finger in the *** too
I would like to write a gnome "dreamweaver-like" application but it requires so a lot of time
Learn HTML, CSS and use a text editor. Visual editors output awful HTML and are incapable of doing a lot of things you cn do with raw code.
The best web pages are dynamic and adapt to the browser, the wysiwyg model is incapable of working like this.

Hello there - my first post!!
I've used Bluefish and NVU in the past and they're pretty good.
I know NVU has template support, however it seems slightly buggy at times and often crashes.
Does anyone know of any other editors with template support?
Geany's what I use.
Dreamweaver in wine works perfect for me too.
To build a web page from scratch, you're really best off knowing HTML/CSS. HTML is quite easy to learn and it's totally worth your time. Take a look at tutorials on w3schools. A knowledge of HTML and CSS will even make a WYSIWYG editor much more enjoyable and effective to use, so I'd recommend it.
As for WYSIWYG editors (I know, the actual topic of the thread), Kompozer is pretty good. If there is even still a version in the repo's, it's not going to work for you - it'll just crash constantly because it doesn't work with the current version of GTK. Instead, go to kompozer.net and download the 0.8 beta. Extract the package and double-click on "kompozer" inside the kompozer folder.
Geany and Aptana are both great code editors, same with Bluefish. Aptana includes a preview function but it's not actually WYSIWYG (Bluefish and Aptana both have toolbar buttons that can insert code snippets into your source file though). Nvu is really just an older version of Kompozer that is no longer updated, and it'll have the same problem with GTK as old versions of Kompozer. I have also used Quanta for a time. It's a great code editor with a WYSIWYG mode that I found pretty ineffective. The main problem for me is that it's a KDE 3.5 app that hasn't yet been updated for KDE 4.
