I agree entirely that for creation of HTML what is required is a text
editor with good find/replace.
I use BBEdit (on a Mac) as well primarily because the find/replace
implementation is excellent.
For me a good find/replace is far more valuable than anything you might
get from a "WYSIWYG" type of editor.
As well as GREP good multi-file find/replace is also essential. With
multi-file find replace of common elements throughout a series of files
can be easily changed.
The next good thing to have in an editor for HTML is scriptability.
With this then I can compile find/replace expressions and include other
commands thus effectively creating my own features.
