Question re Sublime WYSIWYG HTML editor

Has anyone else tried this proggie? Design mode doesn't seem to be a true
WYSIWYG editor. All I can really do is add text and standard Windows
keyboard text formatting (e.g. ctrl-b for bold, etc). I can find no way to
add such things as images or tables. If I add these via text mode and return
to design mode they will be there but I still can't do much with them.

Help?

There are tons of Free! HTML tutorials online, use them.
 
I must admit, I also found it weird. This one's much preferable IMO:

I've tried Selida several times, but it craps out on me frequently. The best
ones I've used so far are Frontpage Express (heresay!), Expresso
(essentially Frontpage Express under license) and Trellian. Can't remember
why I abandoned Trellian -- maybe I'll take a second look at it.

Not to steal Beebop & Rocksteady's thunder, but I found some great
editors at http://freeware.quantum.2ya.com/ .
If you do enough in a WYSIWYG editor, you will realize the limitations.
I eventualy moved on to 1st Page then to Stone's Webwriter. It is a real
blast to get up to your elbows in code and, just when you want to give
up, "VIOLA" it works out just the way you wanted it. There are tones of
HTML tutorials on the web. start with
http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp
Hope this helps.

YMMV

Yeah, I have tried this one. I find the Java version slower to run on my
machine than the older Windows version. Periodically though the old one did
some funny things so I abandoned it.
