I'll have to disagree on Dreamweaver since it can edit PHP just fine, like any other text based editing program. I use Dreamweaver because its easy to find the code you need to edit or add to it. Dreamweaver lets you edit the HTML code in code view.

If you are an experienced Dreamweaver user, you are right. I'm a Dreamweaver user too and I'm comfortable with it even editing PHP. But for someone who doesnt know configuring the options of the program correctly, dreamweaver can cause trouble just like other WYSIWYG HTML editors. (You have to be sure "Never rewrite the code" for PHP extensions is checked!)

On the contrary you'll always be safe with Notepad even if you havent used it once.
