The guy from Adobe thought GoLive CS was it, kept asking 'can't do that with Dreamweaver can you?' I refrained from disagreeing with him...I guess he hadn't seen the MX 2004 release that came out a week or two before that seminar. Then again he also thought most developers won't hand code and that they'll love the Opera 7 based preview feature of GoLive.
MX 2004 is a great tool to have, but then again so is a basic text editor. I'm torn (equally) between using MX or BBedit, just depends on my mood that day and the kind of site on what I'll use.
My view on the original question: There's no really good option yet for a WYSIWYG editor, but Dreamweaver does the best job right now based on what you've got to choose from.

Can't go wrong there and for those that need it the wysiwyg feature can be
turned on easily.
I will say GoLive CS was a surprise though in its improvement, but it still
isn't at the level of DW.

Subject: Re: [WSG] Re: WYSIWYG editor
I respectfully disagree. Dreamweaver MX 2004 enables a designer to create
well formed and valid XHTML. In addition, it has a built-in XHTML
validator to check for poor syntax.
Also, it's upgraded CSS panel produces valid style sheets, and often creates style sheets automatically in conjunction with XHTML.

Dreamweaver is like kills ants with a machine gun. This app is excelent
to edit nested tables, but thing like tableless it not so god -- We had
using him practiclly like Homesite to had some markup control.
WYSIWYG editor to XHTML/CSS is unnecessary, I suppose. At last, if among
browser had yours particularities to render XHTML/CSS, a visual editor
had yours particularities too.
XHTML Strict/1.1 had a coerent structure, is simple to edit in your favorite ASCII editor. And CSS by TopStyle is very productive.
