Have you heard of Mozilla's Ubiquity? I think it's the beginning of something big.

Ubiquity is a Mozilla Labs experiment into connecting the Web with language in an attempt to find new user interfaces that could make it possible for everyone to do common Web tasks more quickly and easily.

I haven't used Eric Meyer’s CSS Layout Generator for Adobe Dreamweaver, but it looks promising. I've been very impressed with his writing on CSS, and I'd be shocked if this wasn't exactly what it says it is. I've been wondering when something like this would come out. HTML editors always seem to offer a plethora of table layout options and templates, but they seem to leave anything CSS related up to the designer. It's nice to see that design software companies expanding into the CSS field, particularly in conjunction with someone like Eric Meyer.
