Oh, I wasn't doubting your choice of program. Dreamweaver is the best, by far. I use it when I do any coding or editing, but I just use the code view. I just like Dreamweaver because it colors the tags, seamlessly ties into your web host, and has a nice error and code compliance feature. But you still have to know XHTML and CSS.
Edit: Sorry, one of my acronyms was screwy.
