Used to be almost the same for me until I switched from Zend Studio to TruStudio. Also I despise JBuilder; evil buggy expensive bloatware whereas Eclipse is relatively simple and free.
I've just tried TruStudio, it's like Eclipse but not free, that's bad. And its text highlighting isn't as good as DW I wonder if there's a way to change the way it highlights ?
Since when was FrontPage free? Anyways, hand code, that way you'll get it to validate and adhere to standards without your editor slapping in loads of deprecated values
I used to use front page, dream weaver, etc in my rookie days Over the past couple of years, I've just been using Notepad, may take a little longer to code, but the results are nicer
I still use DW, but not the default install. DW isn't free, but it's very flexible, I love how it allows you to edit default templates, change rules and such. If you know how (Or follow a good tutorial), editing DW is a very wise option.
I hand code most the time though, quite pointless me buying it really, but saves me time (Approx. 2 mins) when setting up new documents, time is money!

TruStudio is a plugin for Eclipse (which is free). TruStudio Foundation is free. It has some annoying bugs--two that come to mind are incorrect text selection on double-click and occasionally shifting all text left by one character (occurs with the Intellisense sometimes). But Zend Studio was even buggier and had less features so I care less.

Same here, I'm looking forward to its update when it supports better text highlighting. did you try the licensed one ? I want to know if licensed TruStudio does text-highlight
it's the developer who creates -- not the tools ...
with the right tool you can build anything ... knowing how to use the tool and taking advantage of what it has to offer can and will decrease development time
