I have to agree with formlit. All the fancy tools listed are good for only one thing - starting a site. They're handy for creating the graphical look of a site. But if you want it to actually DO anything, at some point you will be writing code.
I've been doing websites professionally for 12 years or so, from small filmmaker sites to registration pages for local universities ... and I've never needed Dreamweaver or any of that junk. Watch out for products (like Pagemaker or Word) which were originally designed for one thing and now can save HTML just because everyone else is doing it -- they tend to create really bad, bloated HTML code. An Microsoft products output code that only cares about working in Microsoft's browser (IE) ... get the picture?
I just use a text editor, because that's all you need. HTML is just text. If a site is so complex and full of graphics that you need a graphical editor, odds are it's a heavy design that needs to be streamlined. Fancy tools make it easy to throw stuff on a page, with no consideration for whether anyone can comfortably view the results. It's not unusual to end up with 40 or 50 graphics on a page, where maybe 3 are really needed. Please learn design and usability skills along the way.
Some tools even insert their own little tags, product names, and other junk into your page without telling you. FrontPage creates a horde of weird folders on your server; other tools insert maintenance files on your server without asking first. I don't know why they think that's appropriate. Bottom line: you have no idea what the tools are actually doing.
Don't be one of those developers who throws something together in FrontPage (or whatever) and then completely chokes when it comes time to change something because they have no idea how the web actually works. Learn how the web works (HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript) instead. Then decide on a tool, and you'll be ahead of all the people who can only drag and drop and click on things and hope it works.
Best wishes on your explorations...
