Bitflux Editor (aka BXE) is based on Mozile ;)

Here's my biased comparison of the main points...

- Mozile is an XHTML Editor, while BXE is a (or tries to be) 
full-fledged XML Editor.

- BXE does live Relax NG validation on your input.

- Mozile is far easier to setup. It's more or less Plug'n'Play, while 
you have to setup some stuff in BXE and if you're using some XML format 
instead of XHTML  even more is needed (RelaxNG, CSS, etc..)

- Mozile loads faster (no validation has to be done, etc...)

- BXE is very flexible (customizable with one XML file, but mozile 
should now have something in that area, too, IIRC)

- BXE has context-sensitive context menu, an "XPath" bar, nice image 
insertion possibilities (via Kupu Drawers) and was quite heavily tested 
by the University of Zurich lately.

There's certainly more, but it's too early in the morning to make bigger 
comparison

To sum up: If you "just" want to edit standard XHTML documents and you 
do not care about which elements are used where, then go with Mozile. 
It's more than good enough for that and BXE is simply just overkill 
then. Otherwise use BXE ;)
