Dreamweaver, but steep learning curve.

Actually, Dreamweaver is a piece of cake to learn and use. Its the goofy
push button monkey code generator features that are difficult to learn and
use. For standard HTML page layout Dreamweaver is a "dream" and because
recent versions include HomeSite which was arguably the best HTML text
editor Dreamweaver is outstanding for those who have a mastery of HTML not
to mention scripting as HomeSite supports several different scripting
languages with internal functions unique to each script type.
As good as it is, I would hesitate to recommend Dreamweaver at this point in
time though. Acquisitions take time to work out and I believe Adobe's
acquisition of Macromedia is going to result in lots of problems. Currently,
Dreamweaver is not able to cope with the rapid change in web development
which is occurring at this specific point in time. Dreamweaver 8 for example
is still FUBAR with regard to general issues but most specifically support
for ASP.NET is broken and way way behind. Macromedia tried to do too much
with Dreamweaver by supporting Cold Fusion, PHP, ASP and HTML all in one
box.
What I would recommend is obtaining one of the Microsoft Express
applications and adopting ASP.NET as they do not support ASP which is
considered outdated and no longer really being supported other than
maintaining old documentation.
If one insists on continuing to use ASP and is seeking a good text editor I
recommend solutions such as NotePad++ or Crimson noting they are not
"authoring" programs and have varying degrees of project management tools.
Macrodobe may still sell Homesite independently. I haven't checked that out
but if so I would not hesitate to recommend it. While I use applications
like Dreamweaver, FrontPage and currently Visual Studio I also run HomeSite
and NotePad++ side-by-side as they are both so useful when designing and
developing..
Finally, I would read about the Microsoft Expression Web Designer [2] as I
think it is going to become "the" application when one comes to learn and
understand what Microsoft has innovated with regard to XAML and the
Expression Suite [3] which rightly or wrongly is already being considered
Flash - Dreamweaver Killers.

Another editor option would be the Zeus IDE:
http://www.zeusedit.com/features.html
Note: Zeus is shareware (45 day trial).
It offers a host of software developer specific features like ftp/sftp
editing, project/workspace management, code folding, integrated
version control etc.
