Periodically, there's a review of text editors for a particular platform. Linuxlinks' latest post is pretty thorough though, covering 21 different Linux/Unix text editors. "In many users' eyes, a text editor should be lean and mean, fast to start up and shut down, without fancy splash screens or a graphical user interface. The choice of editor has long stirred up strong emotions. [...] To provide an insight into the quality of software that is available, we have compiled a list of 21 high quality Linux text editors. There's a mix of graphical and console based applications included.

Quanta+ does have a WYSIWYG editing mode, it's called VPL Editor (not sure what it stands for, but I'll guess it's not visible panty line). I don't really use it as I prefer hand-coding; using Dreamweaver (back in '02) taught me a healthy disrespect for WYSIWYG editors, I prefer to see exactly what's going on beneath.
When I did use it, on a page with some javascript, it crashed; then again, the same thing happened with N|VU ;-)
