I don't think there's a really good answer to this question. It really boils down to using what ever your comfortable with and will let you get the job done. Personally, I use plain text editors with syntax highlighting and I hate Dreamweaver (i've used 2002), but others feel differently and prefer drag-and-drop stuff. If you like Dreamweaver, but you can't afford the money, you can always try Nvu (http://www.nvu.com/), apparently it has fairly good standards support.
