The SeaMonkey people are to my knowledge not doing any development of
Composer and IMHO think it should be removed from the suite.

I hope this proposal to remove it could not be done without a vote and
mine would be "NO !"
after all if you don't like it, do not look at it, but leave it alone !


It is not that I don't like it. If it was a GOOD WYSIWYG web editor I
might even use it.

However the development of the web has moved on to HTML, CSS and
JavaScript, which Composer as it stands today does not handle properly
in the current version. All I see it capable of is HTML.

Which is perfectly adequate for many things, for people who want to quickly generate useful content and feel no need to crap it up with all of those things just to show how clever they are.

Can you create separate CSS stylesheets with it? All I see is inline
styling for each element when I try and help someone who complains their
page doesn't look right in a certain browser, but looks fine in another
with pages designed with Composer.

Could that be because no style sheet will help people using IE6 or similar which don't support perfectly valid HTML even of the simplest type.

Does it handle HTML5? How do I change the default HTML 4.01 Transitional
DOCTYPE it always inserts if I want to create a XHTML Strict site?

Then you should use the right tool instead of complaining that the wrong tool does a poor job!

Keep it for email, hide the icon, disable Ctrl+4 and the Window menu
item until such time it is compatible with the changes in web design.

I'll stick with hand coding in a text editor or use Aptana Studio.

And we won't try to take that away from you.
