vi. Well, technically vim, but apart from word-wrap and multiple
undo, I treat it as if it were vi.
So far it does everything I want an HTML editor to do. (I don't
need a WYSIWYG editor -- I can just call up the page in a web
browser in another window. A WYSIWYG interface would just get
in my way by obscuring the code I'm trying to edit.)
I do automate part of the process using PHP as a batch preprocessor.
(That is, my ISP doesn't support using PHP to make active pages with
the type of account I've got, but I run my pages through PHP to create
the HTML that gets uploaded to my ISP. All it does is put standard
headers and footers on my pages so that I only have to change one
file to change the look of my whole site, and adjust some navigation
links based on how many directories down a page is from the root.)

That's the great thing about vi -- the only idiosyncracies that
wind up on my pages are my own, not the editor's. The same would
be true of Notepad, Pico, and Emacs if I could stand those.
