Have been down this road. FrontPage (shudder) in the 90's. DreamWeaver and others for a bit.
HTML, JS, CSS, XML, PHP, Python, Perl... it's all text. Finally realized I did not need a gui editor with internal browser.
Best bet is to know your code, have a good mental idea of what it will do, use the browser to verify.
The following is all open source, so no emptying of the wallet...
Put Apache on your dev machine so you can run vhosts. Modify your hosts file to point localhost to whatever internal-only domain name you choose.
Code with jEdit - java based so completely cross-platform, code folding, syntax highlighting, macro capability etc. A wonderful tool.
View with FireFox. Install the FireBug, Web Developer, ColorZilla and MeasureIt extensions. Find a 'doze machine somewhere so you can (begrudgingly) use IE just to make sure stuff is rendering as you expect. Install Opera & Chrome just because you can, though you'll use them the least.
Write code, save, tab over to FireFox, F5 to refresh. Rinse and repeat. You'll barely touch the mouse, as Ghu intended.
When things look good, upload with FileZilla (which supports SFTP, so you can safely dial in using your private key).
Good luck!
