WYSIWYG editors make lots of mistakes, and it can take you a while to go around cleaning up after them with all their extra font elements and divs. THey each have their place. Dreamweaver is useful, but real html coding can be much more dependable. I go with the html editor aptana studio. Its free, no wysiwyg, but tons of stuff to help you code the html.

I used to code in notepad for web pages until I found lightweight text editors with syntax highlighting. Things like notepad++ and scite make it nice without trying to do it for you.

Apatana studio is the best free one and my fav. Not free, there's rage webdesign, code, kompozer, etc.

It is great when multiple people are working on the same site - keeps people from writing over each other's work. -- Greg

I do all my template files (the template being used for the site I'm working on) in Notepad++, then when I'm ready to start the actual site I transfer it to Visual Studio and go from there.

If you plan on being a TRUE PRO you need to write your own code as it will slow you down using the freakin' WYSIWYG bull crap.
