Bluefish is missing an integrated WYSIWYG view. Moreover, menu options to open pages in Firefox are unresponsive.

Aptana also does not have a WYSIWYG enviroment.

Bluefish developers have already said that Bluefish is not supposed to be WYSIWYG. It is supposed to be for coding.

Yes, firefox page opening is unresponsive. Also, abilities to open in Google Chrome do not exist. Crashy with 64-bit install.
