Dream weaver is my favorite HTML editor.

I'm pretty used in using Dreamweaver as my HTML editor. I even got a 100% on a web design project last time.

I'll have to add a vote for Notepad++. I'm an old COBOL programmer and it just feels weird to not actually write my own code (ala Dreamweaver). Notepad++ adds just enough 'extras' over normal Notepad to make it easy to use.

Frontpage and dreamweaver are better than others...

DreamWeaver4

Its pretty easy to use, but also has some pretty advanced features. I like the split screen too, plus it usually doesn't change code around and add useless stuff like some other programs I know of

I also like the DreamWeaver/FireWorks integration, and the use of templates. They are a bit tough to learn, but once you do learn them, you can create some nice-looking sites in no time.

Also, it now has a nice Find/Replace features which will take care of everything in that page, or in a group of files or a whole directory even. Makes updating those ad codes or changing text ads pretty easy.

Overall, its an excellent program, I don't know what I'd do without it. I'm tempted to go out and buy another copy for my new iBook, since my PC version won't work on it

There is its only downside - it costs more than most or all of the others.

I suppose DW4 was pretty advanced when it was released in 2000

And I do still use DW6 (MX) myself

'cos it's only a code syntax highlighter after all!

I prefer dreamweaver myself. Even though i find it kind of clunky at time

#1, as I have voted = Notepad in Windows.

I also use it in combination with Firefox to run the webpage.

#2, A lot of the times I use my own program done under gwbasic.exe to create certain types of web pages.

Yes I know GWBASIC.EXE dates back to the 1980s, but I know how it works, and it has more than enough for me.

I use the GWBASIC program skills when I have a tricky or labour intensive feature of a website to do.

Currently I am on the Grandest function I have ever had it done

*** It Does this
++ Fieldsets for an Appliction form
++ dd tags for a companion Help page
++ As the above two, but for the Search stage
++ MYSQL enum/set table colums
++ PHP handling for the Application form

All I need, is one single list, that being in this GWBASIC progam, with the press of four keys, it turns out whichever one I want. It turns it out into a file, then I cut and paste it across to the proper website file of which it is for.

I can select it to do any of these
++In the form pages, it does a whole fieldset full of radio buttons, or checkboxes, including labels and more
++In the help pages, it does under ul/li tags, each one of the checkbox/radio button options, and next to that, details of what that option means.
++An Insert line, for MYSQL
++Create table enum/set lines

And many other functions.

***** HOW DOES THIS HELP *****
I have spent around 12 months on a single website, trying to align a total of thee pages for the application form stage, as well as MYSQL and more.

Then I would see, I need to add this feature, or this option, then it is all over again to edit everything, which took hours. Now, it will only take 10 to 30 minutes, and each one is a perfect copy to what it needs to be.
