Well, so far I used to edit my website mostly with Kompozer. This would still be the perfect tool for me if only:

• it supported HTML5 and CSS3.
• the produced HTML code were a bit cleaner.

Unfortunately this is not the case and its development is currently stalled.
I also gave BlueGriffon a try but among other things the CSS editing is a joke (seems to be intentionally unusable to force you to buy the CSS pro extension), and it still mess with your code layout.

I think I'm going to switch to manual HTML editing. But after a few hours spent on it - currently with Aptana (I also tried Bluefish) - and though I find it quite interesting and I'm comfortable enough with it, I'm afraid it won't be easy to concentrate on the clarity, etc. when writing new content. Even a small update will likely turn to be a task in itself, and be easily postponed... which is not a good thing.


I'm afraid now there's no perfect WYSIWYG free solution (and I'm not going to buy a software for this).
So I'm not really asking for suggestions, but out of curiosity I'd just like to hear what you guys/gals are usually using for your own web development needs?

I used to use Dreamweaver 7 before learning HTML, PHP and Javascript. then used Komposer but they never work right

Windows:
Now I use NetBeans or Aptana Studio for PHP . Notepad++ for HTML, CSS and JS. sometimes when a hot fix is needed notepad....

Linux:
gedit+NetBeans are more than enough!

Fancy:
When a hot design is needed, I use Microsoft Office's word.
Graphics (Urnemaden's way) using Paint.NET

Currently I use Bluefish myself, but only because of the handy colorization of tags and symbols. Easier to recognize content from HTML code then.

On Windows I used to use Notepad 2 because it had the same ability to do color tags in both HTML and CSS. Have moved website development over to Linux now though.

Should test this out sometime, thanks for the tip!
