[Dame]

I use dreamweaver. I used to do it by hand way back when using notepad but dreamweaver makes it so much simpler these days.

[seeandsee]

frontpage

[Bojangles]

Most use dreamweaver.

[campimp]

i have been soley dreamweaver for 4 or 5 years, but the past few months a friend turned me onto microsoft expression and i think im going to stick to that from now on... its pretty nice

[StariaDaniel]

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 for the rough and Notepad++ for the fine tuning - best way to keep it fast AND clean ...

[tranza]

It's probably Dreamweaver or Photoshop.

Unless you're a true coder and work with Notepad.

[HorseShit]

nano all the way

[fris]

nano on a unix based server, and notepad++ on win32

You did say HTML so therefore dreamweaver beats out any of the real TEXT editors. Frontpage adds too much BS to your basic HTML editing.

[the alchemist]

nano on *nix and notepad++ on windows.

[Barefootsies]

Unless you're a true coder and work with Notepad.

Not a true coder. Just old school.

Still do notepad.

[crockett]

Dreamweaver and I do most of my web design editing in fireworks.

True coder my ass. Dreamweaver has a lot of features that save professional coders and designers a lot of time.

Dreamweaver. The CS3 version has a bunch of cool scripting setup that you can use with almost one-click ease. I haven't had a chance to test-drive the CS4 version yet - but see that it has some nice improvements, one of which is the ability to toggle between 'Live View' and 'Code View' within the application & it includes quite a bit of application resources for stuff like Ajax, Java, Jquery & Spry. There are also some PSD/Photoshop integrations.

[CaptainHowdy]

I like HTMLKit ...

[Qbert]

True coder my ass. Dreamweaver has a lot of features that save professional coders and designers a lot of time.

dreamweaver

[TommyM]

I never used other things then Notepad - Notepad rocks!

[chelo - adultcopywriters]

My choice is Dreamweaver, Notepad doesn't even have line numbers, Kate or any other linux based editor is way better.

[Nicky]

Usually dreamweaver, used to do frontpage but it adds too much BS code.

[Klen]

Notepad++

[martinsc]

notepad++

[Calico Jack]

[ungratefulninja]

more like inefficient coder who let his ego get in the way of progress.

[mrxxl]

[Voodoo]

Dreamweaver + Photoshop + UltraEdit

[CurrentlySober]

Frontpage EXPRESS V4

[Malicious Biz]

Photoshop.. for all your html editing needs. lol

[u-Bob]

photoshop + editpad + ultraedit + frontpage express v2.02 + perl (no kidding)

[NaughtyRob]

Dreamweaver CS3 rocks but I have been playing with Microsoft Expression Web 2 and its pretty sweet too.

[woj]

dreamweaver is the way to go

[psili]

more like inefficient coder who let his ego get in the way of progress.

Ahhh... be nice.
It's find and dandy turning out point+click HTML shit from a pretty GUI with nice popups and whatnot that prompt you on what to call your new DIV tag. Afterall, HTML is just putting together a chopped up static image, right, ala AlienQ? And in regard to the original poster, that's all that was asked.

In regard to some of the people mentioning a text editor of sorts, don't hate. Try and relate.

[ExLust]

Notepad++ and Dreamweaver.
