Website design

I've recently used a number of authoring programs and out of all I tested Dreamweaver ended up being the one I chose to work with. It's not perfect but the toolset it gives you to work with I found to be the most complete. And Dreamweaver gives you the ability to customize the tools and add your own tools and libraries, which I did quite extensively. By the way, I use only the code interface, not the design interface. If you're looking for a WYSIWYG editor, that's probably still Dreamweaver in Design view but I wouldn't know for sure.
 
"ultra edit pro" - likes: color syntax, opens as fast as notepad, has a nice color chooser, and tabbed file view.

That program looks like it was ment for programmers. I like it. I also like how you don't always have to type .html for it to saved as an .html file.
And about Dreamweaver, I hate it. It uses too many different languages to make a page. For God's sake it uses CSS to change text colours! I suggest if you don't want to learn HTML, use Nvu. Nvu is an open source front page alternative. The only thing that Dreamweaver has over it is it's ability to show code and final result at the same time. And that's not worth $300(or even pirating it.)
 
I use dreamweaver in the code view. I don't even use the WYSIWYG editor. I would use topstyle pro instead of dreamweaver if it let me ctrl+z after saving, but it doesn't.
 
for design (html/css only) I haven't found better than dreamweaver... for dynamic stuff (server-side scripting, etc) I love Visual Studio!

You can enable this by going to Options... Editor - check "Enable undo after save". I love TopStyle for extensive HTML and CSS editing 🙂
 
I prefer Dreamweaver myself. It's loaded with useful features and powerful options whether you're doing drag'n'drop design or manual html coding.
