Aptana Studio Community edition:
"( Instead of focusing on the HTML,
Aptana focuses on the JavaScript
and other elements that allow you to create Rich Internet Applications.
One of the things I really like
is the outline view that makes it really easy to visualize the DOM.
This makes for easier CSS and JavaScript development.
If you are a developer creating Web 2.0 applications,
Aptana Studio is a good choice.)
5.31: not easy to find:
. for linux as app or eclipse plugin;
but not installable by ubuntu .

Screem:
"( Screem is a versatile text Web page editor and XML editor.
It recognizes the Doctype you're using
and validates and completes tags based on that.)
5.31: Screem ubuntu lucid download is missing:
--. for hardy but not lucid (the current release)
"(Unlike most other web site / HTML editors
SCREEM does not provide a WYSIWYG display of pages.)
