Re:Not sure 3D is always the best
We need interfaces that scale from basic to advanced...
You mean like Nero, with its basic and expert interfaces that you can toggle between with a click, or like FirstPagewith four interfaces from beginner to expert, or like the countless programs that have a wizard to walk beginners through while leaving a complex interface in place for advanced users? Plenty of gui designers are aware of the different needs of different users. -
Dreamweaver replacement
If you are looking for an IDE replacement to Dreamweaver, check out http://www.evrsoft.com/, and pick up 1st page. I have used them off and on for a lot of years. I mainly use Dreamweaver, but I find it very easy to switch between them.

Re:HTML-KitMany web development applications have HTML Tidy built in. One I use is HTML Builder XP. Don't let the name fool you. It's more than an HTML editor. It comes with functions for creating CSS, ASP, and PHP (4.x integrated!) and customizable DHTML scripts. It has tabbed preview windows to check your rendered code in as many browsers as you have.
HTML Builder XP is created by one of the two developers of the now-defunct 1st Page 2000 by Evrsoft. Evrsoft is now just the one remaining developer who has essentially abandoned the app. The vaporous "1st Page v. 3.0" is like the Duke Nukem Forever of web dev apps. If you happen to be among the thousands of web monkeys who have been waiting for the next version of 1st Page 2000, HTML Builder XP is what you're looking for.

Here's a list
Well there's a great list of editors on PHP.net at http://213.155.159.67/phpeditors/index.php that you might find helpful. The list gives the webpage, platform, license, and reader comments for each one.
As a web developer who is almost always using Windows, lately I've used Homesite (costs a bunch), 1st Page 2000 (just like Homesite but free) and Crimson Editor. They all work fine for anything I've needed to do. -
many editors for many tasks
I personally use NoteTab for just about everythnig from note-keeping to times when I need to look at several text documents at the same time. For web development, I quite love Macromedia's HomeSite, but since I can't afford to own a legal copy (shh... don't tell), EVRSoft's 1st Page 2000 is far from being a step down. It's free, it's fast, and it has similar features and feel as HomeSite. (But after kludging around with Cold Fusion, I will probably not go back to HomeSite. ColdFusion Studio still gives me nightmares.) Then for C/C++ development, I'm still looking for the right editor. I'm picking up Emacs on Linux, but for Windoze dev work, I need something with a filename other than MSDEV.EXE. I've come to hate that file with everything in me. But if you're a lazy coder like me, C++ Builder (or Kylix 3 in Linux) is definitely the way to go.

Re:Great. Now find a good web page builder
1st Page 2000. www.evrsoft.com It's an HTML editor with WYSIWYG ideas, i.e. (horrible pun) you can "click in" elements, but you're still getting the raw HTML. I'd highly recomend it, and most of all, it's FREE

Re:I sit next to our web developer
I agree with the use of text editors. When in Windows I use Notetab. It is a drop in replacement for MS Notepad. It includes many addins and macros for dealing with any type of text file, including decent HTML support. It is great for viewing and editing multiple files at once. The 'light' version is free.
A good free HTML editor is 1st page 2000.
Of course my two sub teen kids mainly use MS Frontpage when they are in Windows. When they have problems getting it to do a specific task, I use one of the two above to fix it. -
Re:Some techniquesTake a look at the front page of my website, which is in XHTML. It looks almost exactly like HTML except for the doctype declaration and the closed <BR> tags. (Some of the JavaScript isn't yet Mozilla 5 compatible -- a DOM issue.)
I converted the page by hand but then realized I already had a program that would have done it automatically. Try out this awesome web development program by Evrsoft (only for Windows). Go to Tools | Tidy HTML Quick Tools | Convert to XML. Instant XHTML.

Re:Progressive Disclosure
For those of you using windows check out this good example of a program with different interfaces for different level users.
1st Page http://www.evrsoft.com/
It is a HTML VERY similar to Allaire Homesite (but free). You can select from beginner to hardcore and the interface ranges from happy icons to almost no buttons.
