I've tried bluefish and Quanta. I didn't like either. I liked nVu, but it crashed constantly and now they are moving development back into seamonkey.
My biggest problem is that most of these web editors have crappy CSS support. If I wanted to remember every CSS and HTML tag I would use something like notepad and a browser. What I like about dreamweaver is that is has a very nice CSS editor that can work with linked CSS docs and not just inline styles.
To put it simply I want something very similar to dreamweaver on Linux, but better.

Hmm. That's interesting. I don't use inline styles at all. I only use linked CSS and I haven't had a problem developing with bluefish and firefox. Of course I am a hand coder so I guess it depends on your style of development. It isn't very difficult to develop linked CSS with bluefish though. Just open another tab with your CSS file and use the CSS editor on that document.

What I'm looking for personally is something that I can be happy with for such things and a good solid replacement for dreamweaver. Thus far I haven't really found anything that I like.
I've found a collection of tools that to me are much better than dreamweaver. I use bluefish together with firefox with the webdeveloper extension, the view source chart extension, the edit css extension, the firebug extension, and the html validator extension. I don't even use firefox as my main browser but you can almost develop websites with it alone.
