Jed's a very reasonable choice, there. I used to use Jed, but I finally
decided to take the plunge and learn Vim. (My fingers get lonely when
they have to leave the home row.) I get carpal tunnel just thinking
about the keystroke commands in Emacs. I'd have to bolt an additional
500G hard drive to my head just to remember them all. (Be nice, you
emacsers, I'm just teasing you. Feel free to reciprocate.)
Bluefish is an excellent editor for HTML, but is not WYSIWYG, and I
don't know if it's cross-platform.
I haven't used KompoZer, but Nvu was best-of-breed for Linux.
