TopStyle Pro....

Free trial, costs a bit to purchase. Best one I've used. Homesite is good too - believe there's a free trial version too.

Homesite is good too

Seconded

Dreamweaver split code/layout view taught me buckets. It does a good job of rendering HTML and is great if you want to work quickly. CSS support isn't great but it's getting better. MX04 makes lighter work of this than previous versions.

But Notepad is awful! A text editor for web development needs syntax highlighting at the very least, so you can see at a glance where the tags are and spot missing brackets, quote marks and the like. If you're on Windows, try Edit Plus, or on Linux, Bluefish.

I never use a wysiwyg editor, so I can't make a recommendation there.

I used to think Notepad was ok until a designer I am working with accidently inserted some kind of invisible character, some proprietary MS thing, into notepad, probably by accidentally hitting some key combination.

The character was invisible in notepad but not to php, it crashed the whole script.

I found the character immediately when I opened the page up in Editplus.

The moral of the story is don't use MS stuff to work on web pages, Edit Plus is the best text Editor I've seen for windows, for a very good WYSIWYG editor I'd vote for dreamweaver, but I've never used the other products recommended here so they might also be very good, but dreamweaver is a good one to learn on.
