OK, but at least give it a try. Then make your own conclusions.

Neither Seamonkey nor Kompozer has any site management features remotely
resembling what the OP asked about. BTW, "WYSIWYG" has nothing to do
with it, either.

Berg,

I agree with you that Nvu 1.0 and KompoZer 0.7.10 site management is
not that good. Charles Cooke and I recommend to use FireFTP 0.97 or
FileZilla 3.0.6 as FTP programs:

KompoZer's development roadmap:
* 0.7 branch: fix most of the CSS editor's bugs;
* 0.8 branch: implement a decent site manager;

FTP is not site management.

That list has been out there for years. There's been no active
development on Kompozer for a long time now.

I'm not really knocking Kompozer - it is an OK tool for a small site -
but it's totally inadequate for the OP.

I use SeaMonkey. I code my Web pages using a text editor. The only
thing I use a WYSIWYG editor for is the rare copy/paste op to quickly
gen up a temporary page. I don't use Composer, I use Kompozer.
