I don’t like Notepad any more.

TextPad and Notepad are good. But DreamWeaver and GoLive sometimes have their uses, too.

I’ll usually do some rough layout in a WYSIWYG editor, and then switch over to raw code to tweak everything into place. But a point comes where you’re just changing the content, so I mostly just use Notepad and lots and lots of code reuse.

I was playing around last week, though, and the Mozilla Composer looks like it would work pretty well for my habits and purposes.

My favorite has always been [Arachnophilia](http://www.arachnoid.com/arachnophilia/). It offers only as much assistance as you need, or you can simply use it like notepad.
