SiteObjects has just released a FREE WYSIWYG editor which is pretty much as
good as Active Edit:

Some developers work in environments and with companies that are far too
large and distributed to sit down and coddle all of the clients/employees.
For me, the biggest issue with eWebEdit is the pricing model or lack there
of. We inquired with them several times about purchasing many licenses but
their fees were fairly exorbitant and, though they informed us they were
undergoing a pricing change, we never received that information.
In the mean time, several cheaper (free) alternatives have shown up.
eWebEdit still has an advantage as far as the Spectra integration goes, but
then the new Spectra has fixed the problems and functionality of it's own
WYSIWYG HTML editor.
What does eWebEdit offer that the ActiveEdit doesn't? Of course, we've
actually decided to go with ezEdit because all we really cared about
(besides the HTML Editor) was the custom tag and source code availability.
