If I am writing mostly code and not 'designing' a site, then I will usually use a text based editor. I tend to use dreamweaver for most sites because I can switch to code view to make sure everything is exactly what I like. The design view is also really helpful though, because even if the code gets a little uglier, it is much easier to visually design the appearance and then tweak it afterwards. Just because you CAN write all the <div> tags you need to format a page, it'll still take longer then draggin the layer tool across the page in Dreamweaver, and you can't eyeball it as well.
This is up to whatever works best for your coding style though. Some people have a strong disdain for anything wysiwg, and some prefer it.
