BlueGriffon is an open source freeware WYSIWYG HTML editor. It was created by the same developer that contributed greatly to the development of the popular Kompozer with which it shares many similarities. As a more recent project it also has added features, less bugs and better compliance with more recent HTML and CSS specifications. It uses the Gecko rendering engine behind Firefox.
After a quick initial look here are some of the possible drawbacks and/or weaknesses that were noticed using this program.
- There is no mouse right-click editing menu for quick copy-cut-paste operations in the source view although keyboard shortcuts can be used.
- Empty <div> elements are automatically removed on save.
- Extra features require paying for add-ons.
Overall it still suffers from the Achilles heel that plagues WYSIWYG editors: a lack of control and precision.
