For a review of PageMill, see:

<http://www.dartmouth.edu/pages/TidBITS/issues/TidBITS-305.html>

Tonya Engst's main complaint is that PageMill does change
tags when importing HTML -- for example, changing <p> to 
<br> <br>. She writes:

 > Will I Use It? I will use PageMill to prototype new
 > pages and to experiment with design changes before
 > implementing the HTML in Nisus Writer. Until
 > PageMill leaves my <P> tags alone and give me more
 > control over the underlying HTML, I cannot use it
 > for final Web pages.
 > 
 > What worries me is that SiteMill (due out soon), is
 > based on PageMill but lets you manage the links and
 > placement of files in a site. SiteMill's planned
 > features sound wonderful, but if it forces me to put
 > all my HTML documents into PageMill format, I won't
 > use it. I don't want double-<BR> tags, and (based on
 > comments written to PageMill-Talk) I'm concerned
 > that PageMill will make other unwanted changes.
