Personally I began using notepad for all my coding... and still use it til this day. Recently I came across notepad2 which is geared more for programming but retains its simplicity. I dont have any experience with fireworks or dreamweaver so I don't really have any comparison to make. Its another option for those of us that don't need the additional features.

I've used frontpage once and hated it because it added in a bunch of code that I found useless... and I guess I've become accustomed to having complete controll over the syntax and organization of the program.

Being a .NET programmer, I use VS.NET and Dreamweaver for most of my needs. I work strictly in code view, but I like the intellisense/autocomplete and code highlighting that both offer. It makes easy work on my eyes.

Does Notepad2 have an ftp client and ASP.NET intellisense addins yet?

Now does anyone like MS Expressions?

Edit: To be fair, I do have a bias against Microsoft

you might need something to upload your files

I think dreamweaver can do it too!
