This application needs an easy publish ability too. All the files that are images, links to pdf files, etc that are in the public.html folder that is local need to be moved to the web publish location with one click. Then, the whole site needs to be able to be brought back from the publish location with one click (no patents please)!
Editing on the fly is wonderful to do... but, all files need to move (without having to start gftp to get them there)! One of the easiest web publishers in the WYSIWYG world is found built into Microsoft Publisher. It uses the Front Page engine... so, you lock your site into having to use the same Microsoft creation tool due to Front Page Extensions that must be used and limit the ability to use anything else (the front page extensions I believe is another Microsoft non-open, lock-in type of move)! But, it Nvu would target the features of MS Publisher, would look to merge with Scribus, would look to merge friendly-like with Open Office (for easy and clean import of documets from and use of data base features)..., would be able to synch up and down from web publish location by having a robust built-in FTP client, then, it would be a killer app. For now, it has to go thru growing pains and does not land a 1.0 with the thunder of a FireFox.
