HTML isn't WYSIWYG. Every 'front end html GUI editor' I've seen has tried its best to sweep that fact under the carpet rather than embrace it.
HTML is very easy to edit, in fact, if you need precise results, it's easier to edit html by hand than it is to wrestle with a WYSIWYG editor, trying to get it to do what you want.
CSS really doesn't suit itself to our current understanding of GUI editors. It's not even clear how editing specificity of a selector, to take just one example, should work in a WYSIWYG environment.
We haven't got good visual editors for html/CSS for many of the same reasons that we don't have good visual editors for C.
