Being able to import existing websites would be good, or is that already there?
I don't believe you'll find a WYSIWYG web designer that could do that, anywhere. The problem of parsing and translating arbitrary HTML/CSS code into the local proprietary format used by all such programs is, I believe, well nigh unsolvable--at least at the affordable level.Quote:

And since the likes of Microsoft, Netscape/Mozillla (Firefox), Opera have been struggling to produce a reliable or compatible browsers for 10 years or more, this is just not practical.
So while it would be truly great to be able to load existing websites and edit them, I can't see it happening in the foreseeable future.
