So far that's correct. However, in the near future Quanta will provide
support for VPL (visual page layout) that essentially gives quanta
dreamweaver like capabilities. I've got the current CVS snapshot on my
gentoo workstation and all I can say is wow. You'll be very suprised at
the functionality you can achieve with open source.
It should be ready to release for the next version of KDE 3.2, which
I've heard is a month or two away.

You may also try the W3C's graphical editor Amaya. It's up to version 8
and has full XML and DOM compatibility.
