For learning, just a code-based editor without a design view with syntax highlighting (colours the coding). For that I'd recommend Notepad++.
If you don't want to learn, and just want to make quick pages, then Microsoft Expression Web Designer. It's probably the only time you'll hear me praise Microsoft software, and I don't think they're making profit on this product, but it really is the best I've seen. It produces clean, standards-compliant code (if you don't go into Options and add a background sound anyway). It gives out better code than Dreamweaver by far, and you can easily design using dividers as opposed to tables, it fits well with WAI level A, HTML, XHTML and CSS standards. Obviously it's not the perfect editor, if one could exist, but it's by far the best design-view editor I've seen.

I've found that Notepad is what I mainly work in with touch-ups in Microsoft Frontpage (yes, I know, the reaction I'm going to get is "ewww..."). If you're talking about the actual design, I'd say Photoshop and ImageReady are your best bets (the last one is absolutely godly).

I use a mix of Dreamweaver, Edit Pad Pro, PhotoShop CS, and sometimes Fireworks. I find it to be a reliable design toolkit.

All i use is photoshop and notepad++ (unless its a CMS with its own text editor).
Plus with notepad++ it can ftp into your server in the program, edit files directly in the notepad and once you save- it uploads the changes directly to your server... whats better then that?
