Out of interest, how many people use this as a HTML editor, if so why, or why not?
Quoth the changelog:
Access keys for activating menu entries (Alt + a letter) are now available on Windows versions.[...]
Amaya now allows to create/change a link without using the mouse. [...]
Support of attribute align="left" and align="right"
Amaya is _so_ far behind the curve, it isn't even funny anymore.
Give me htp and a good text editor and I got you a complete website sooner than you figure out how to handle Amaya's incredibly cumbersome interface.
With the advent of structured markup from the XML family, graphical HTML editors seem to become superfluous - you put a logical structure into the text and have it presentated by another file, the style sheet. There's no reason why that should require any form of WYSIWYG editing, especially since all the WYSIWYG editors I know suck at handling style sheets, let alone creating them properly. They are handy when prototyping, but after that, a script can do the same job in one tenth of a time.
