What he said <grin>.  But really, I've worked on over 17 web sites, and 
hundreds and hundreds of pages over the last 5.5 years and I've always used 
either a text editor, notepad or HTML Assistant Pro (which is not a WYSIWYG 
editor, it's a glorified notepad in many ways with shortcuts to insert tags 
you choose -- it speeds up repetitive chores, and I love the multiple file 
search and replace: replace one string with another across many files.  It 
helps you to code, but doesn't hide the code, doesn't code for you, and can 
expand and grow with the addition of new tags, etc).
