I'm fond of Dreamweaver MX, which includes lots of support for database connections and scripting using a variety of server technologies (including ColdFusion and PHP).

I'm partial to text-only editors, but I also like working with Dreamweaver.
The text-only editors I use are HTML Kit by Chami Software and Max's HTML Beauty ++ ME.
http://www.chami.com/html-kit/ - HTML Kit
http://www.maxworld.co.yu/ - Max's HTML Beauty ++ ME
They both support keyboard macros for inserting HTML code.
HTML Beauty has point and click wizards to create tables, links, image tags, forms, etc. In many instances it's just as easy to create HTML elements with Beauty as it is with Dreamweaver, and it's text-only and less of a resource hog than DW. Beauty also has an expanded search and replace function much like that of DW, and it supports project management, though only to a small degree.
HTML Kit has the possibility of many more and more flexible keyboard macros. It also can edit files directly off of a web server just like DW. But HTML Kit is a bigger resource hog than Beauty. Both programs support text-highlighting for many web programming languages (HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, Perl, etc).

Netscape Composer is a fair quick-fix type wysiwyg editor, or used to be. (Handy for quickly viewing detailed source code of any page by hitting File/edit page)
I used to be a Netscape Navigator fan, but gave it up 2 years ago. So I don't know how the newer versions of composer are compared to back then. Hopefully better ;) I do recall it inserted bizarre extra spaces (esp. above tables) and always required hand editing.

I've been using 1st page 2000 for the past year. It's a look-alike of HomeSite tag editor.

Never got much into the WYSIWYG thing. And this prog is FREE.
XML Spy works pretty good as an html editor too, for that matter, better than an xml editor...

Composer for Netscape 7 and Moz 1 are excellent, as far as free WYSIWYG editors are concerned. It has an option to NOT reformat the source code. The only bug I see is that it always inserts a <br> tag just before the </body> tag, every time you open the page. And it also inserts carriage returns around CSS, Javascript, and the <head> tags every time you open the page.
Kind of annoying, but they are all easy fixes. And one thing I was surprised about, it recognizes CSS layouts and renders the page in composer WYIWYG-style. DW 4 doesn't do that and I haven't played around with MX enough to see if it recognizes a CSS layout. Go to www.alistapart.com with NS7 or Moz 1 and click File > Edit Page to see what I'm talking about.
The only thing I don't like is it seems impossible to insert DIVs and SPANs, but you can fully edit them.
I created a web site for my parents' church and they do all the maintenance on Mozilla 1.0 Composer.
