Yes...but....

There are situations where some sacrifice of control is acceptable to get
something in place quickly.

To answer your question, there's really nothing out there for Linux that
compares to Dreamweaver.  The only thing I really use DW for is
prototyping pages (table layout, etc).  For visually laying things out
quickly, vi and other text editors don't help.  I use DW for layout, then
take the shell, cut out all the crap, and edit in vim or jEdit.  I use
Win4Lin to run Windows on Linux and run Dreamweaver from that.

You might take a look at Mozilla's built-in page composer or use Open
Office, which has some basic WYSIWYG features.
