The HTML editor of OOo is quite outdated and lacks a lot of features
that nowadays are expected from a good HTML editor. OTOH it is indeed a
very nice tool to quickly create some HTML documents.

We definitely will keep the ability of OOo Writer to import, edit and
save HTML documents. It is unclear if we should keep Writer/Web as an
own module. Writer/Web more or less is the same as Writer with some UI
options and features removed. It's open for debate wether the small user
benefit (not being able to do things with the document that can't be
exported to HTML) justifies the effort to maintain the additional code.
We haven't made up our minds about that until now and we are open for
user feedback. I take your mail as a sign that at least one user is
there who uses Writer/Web. :-)

Did you ever try to edit your HTML documents with Writer instead of
Writer/Web (of course with "Web Layout" switched on)? Perhaps you can
give us some feedback if you consider this to be enough.

Ciao,
Mathias
