I'm playing around with Amaya which is a WYSIWYG editor but it's slow and
buggy. However, it has a nifty 'Show structure' view that breaks down the
page into its elements in a sort of tree-style hierarchal order.

I've been text editing via the structure view -- useful for learning CSS as
the effects are immediately visible in the top pane.
Screencap here:

Any text editors that present this way?

If you have the DOM inspector module installed in FF it will do the same
job. Though it's not a text editor.

I *think* composer in Seamonkey might have some support for this.

Thanks for the extensive list but most of these don't display the code in
the structure format that I'm looking for. Can you be more specific about
which ones have the specific feature I'm looking for?

Actually, in two days of looking I haven't found one that has that unique
structure view that I'm looking for. I'm sure I came across it in one other
program once before but damned if I can remember which one it was.
