Notepad++ is pretty cool. And when you are getting all the options you want on notepad++ then why would you use any other tool that is making problems.

I've always prefered Notepad++ for web development (Although I used netbeans when I was doing more complex stuff)

I switched to using Dreamweaver several years ago after I got a copy of it, I highly recommend it for coding since it comes out of the box with a lot of very useful features, the ftp browser and the real time error checking are very great, and the object/variable tracking is great as well. Although the free stuff can be used to do similar things with enough work it's just what I'm used to these days.
