I started coding HTML in straight text. Eventually, I moved on to
FrontPage to "speed up" development. I found myself spending more time
in the code view fixing the crap it added. I also tried Dreamweaver,
and although it was better, I still found myself spending most of my
time in code view. Given the price involved, I decided to go back to
using a straight syntax-highlighted text editor (I use Crimson -
www.crimsoneditor.com) & have been doing quite well with that since.
Go with the text editor - if you want to see what the page looks like,
well, you DO have a browser, right? :)
