For most families intent on publishing Web pages, WYSIWYG
editors are probably the best choice. You can create and post
content in no time without having to worry about the intricacies
of HTML code. Wizards are a good second choice, especially for
people with limited system resources. Text-based editors are fine
for anyone who likes to poke "under the hood". In fact,
you may find yourself moving towards a text-based editors after
paying your dues with a WYSIWYG app or a wizard.
In the end, the tool is the one you like best. I've never
found a single HTML authoring application that does everything I
want it to. That's why I have three or four on my hard
drives, mainly code-based editors along with a WYSIWYG system.
Since most HTML applications are either freeware or shareware,
you have a great opportunity to test as many as you like. You can
find the ones you like and discard any other. All it costs you is
a registration fee (if the application is shareware), some time
testing, and a little connect time.
