I think Emacs works well.

If he really needs a GUI, and you want him to learn to do things the
right way, I suggest Amaya:
http://www.w3.org/Amaya/

Also, make sure he knows about the Web Developer extension for Firefox.
It is not only useful in itself, but makes it easy to run a page
through standards validation.  I'll bet if he starts using it, he will
see just how bad Front Page is.

Good luck,
