Web Page Developing - What do you use?

Just wondering what software everyone is using or recommends for web page develpment.

I'm using Front Page 2000 now, but I've noticed some problems with it, such as, when you setup your paragraphs and do a page preview in the browser, it doesn't display it just like when your in editing mode. Frustrating!! :|

Because of this I'm willing to see what other software packages are out there other then editing the HTML code by hand.

frontpage? oh boy... that would sooo turn me off web design

I use Dreamweaver as my main source of coding, their WYSIWYG engine isn't terrible either.
For graphics I recommend Photoshop and Fireworks.


<-------- spending a lot of time trying to think of the next version of his website...
nuthing there currently other than just a logo; took off version 2, should have left it there until a new design was in work =(
 
Visual Interdev, possibly moving to WebMatrix. For anything non-asp, I just use notepad/emacs... still the best HTML editor out there.

Could the problem be that your preview is in a different size window than in the editor? Some things are beyond the control of even the best program.

And making web pages requires hand-tweaking, no matter what you use to create them. There's no substitute for knowing HTML.
 
If you're making anything other than a personal web page, handcoding is never going to do. Dreamweaver gives you 90% of the power you get by coding it yourself, and once you get the hang of it you'll be designing 10 times faster.
 
yeah dreamweaver mx is the latest! .... speaking of which, i need to sotp messing with my computer and finsih my design
 
I just write a nice CSS file, and then use it for every single page, for which I don't a WYSIWYG editor.
Wordpad, Notepad, and EE (depends on the platform I need to code on)
