I've grown very fond of Ted.  It's a great WYSIWYG-like RTF-based
textprocessor which aims to be just a little better than the Win9x
wordpad and mybe evolve from there.  Features insertion of pictures
(*.jpg,*.tiff,*.gif, and more), tables and a table editor, special
symbols, a multilingual spell checker (the author once wrote one for
NeXTStep - sigh...), a font chooser and almost all one needs.  One can
use convert one's RTF WYSIWYG-documents into correct HTML (at least
the internal syntax checker within asWedit doesn't complain about it)
And now the good and the bad thing. First the good one: it's GPL'ed.
The bad thing: it's written with and for Motif (but compiles and runs
with LessTif).  The author has already said that would have chosen
writing Ted in gtk+ but won't switch until the more important
functionality issues are resolved.  But he surely could need some help
by competent people who might be interested in porting it to
gtk+/GNOME.  But better check it out for yourself:
