Since pages look different in different browsers on different OSes, how can you 
have true WYSIWYG?

I use Arachnophilia, freeware; Current Version: 5.4, build 2377 (06/11/2009)

Not WYSIWYG, but it does have a preview capability if you're doing simple 
pages.  

For seeing what your pages look like in multiple browsers on multiple 
platforms, see here:

    Check Browser Compatibility, Cross Platform Browser Test - Browsershots
    http://browsershots.org/

At a minimum you should check IE6, IE7, IE8, Firefox 3 and 3.5, and Safari 3 
and 4; the latter two need to be checked on Windows XP, Mac OS X, and at least 
one flavour of Linux IMHO.
