I would never pay money for an editor when I can/will hand code. I've been using notepad for near 10 years and a year or so ago swtiched to Crimson Editor. There's nothing nicer than having an orderly looking piece of code that I can read without going wtf. I make it a habit to try to lay down lean code. People who rely on packages though to produce things for them do have a disadvantage to those who keep their skills sharp. Writing compliant code is not rocket science if you know the basics of HTML.
