I'd like to gently disagree.  Editors like NoteTab Pro have the usability and 
"closeness to
the metal" that Notepad has, but they're context-aware and can be built (much after 
the manner
of your own Assembler macro library) into very powerful tools indeed.

Use the validators with caution.  I had a big problem with several of my pages about 
six
months back - W3C passed them all as conforming to 4.01 Transitional. but Google 
wouldn't
index them.  My service provider (1UND1/Puretec in Germany) has a suite that instantly 
found
an unclosed "description" metatag.

Advice about validators - use them often, and use them all.
