Yes, 'which editor to use' has always been a hot debate on Webforumz!

Most people want complete control over their code and if they use a WYSIWYG editor then it needs to produce simple, efficient code.

I would say that Dreamweaver is the best out there for that. It produces fairly efficient code, but do NOT use it for CSS. Instead add in your CSS by hand.

I personally use Dreamweaver to do any complicated HTML. I usually use the WYSIWYG to create something that looks like what I want to use, then I head into the code and strip out parts I don't want. Usually, there isn't much that needs to be taken out.

Some people obviously don't like the code that Dreamweaver produces at all, so they do their own code from scratch in notepad. However I would even then suggest that you find a notepad alternative, with more than one layer of undo for ease of use. A good alternative is 'metapad'.
