I use geany

I definitely like to hand code over using a WYSIWYG programs however, I like to use Dreamweaver for the code hints it provides. It shows you the codes that you are able to use at that point with a drop down list. Dreamweaver helps me code faster. It also helps to see the codes that are available to you.

For me Dream weaver is best and will be best forever.
it makes clean code.

I am using dreamweaver since time of macromedia was owner.
