No offense to all you hand-coders still using notepad, but if you can't get Dreamweaver or Frontpage to work for you, then it's just because you don't have the patience to learn the tool.
I can code in notepad too, but i prefer Dreamweaver or even Frontpage for one reason... it's just a waste of time to hand code a complex, nested table layout in notepad by hand when it can be done in less than 5 min. in Dreamweaver or Frontpage if you just know what you're doing.
The most common gripe about these HTML editors is all the "unnecessary" code that's added automatically behind the scenes. Hmmm. So instead of your page weighing 50KB, it weighs 60KB without graphics. I can see that making a difference if your site is pushing 200K uniques a day, but otherwise, who cares? The surfer doesn't care. So long as it looks good an loads quickly. If the extra 10k or 15k is gonna clog your pipe, then you might need a bigger pipe.
Someone who knows how to use these editors well can design a very good looking page in half the time you can by hand.
