HTML files are *text* files. vi does work! And it works well! But, I suspect the poster wanted a GUI interface of some kind. I still recommend using a text based editor, instead of a wysiwyg editor. If you're using to FrontPage, time to broaden your horizons (and start writing *valid* html). Emacs/XEmacs has an HTML mode with syntax highlighting and extras. If you use GNOME or KDE, gedit and kwrite are other good options. In fact, kwrite with konqueror for preview and looking up HTML documentation, are all that I need.
