I really like Dreamweaver.
In addition to powerful formatting tools, it has great site management
features and a pretty good spell checker. It can produce multiple
versions of pages to accommodate both v3 and v4 browsers; and it can
make pages that detect which version to present to the reader.
(....and the timeline scripting feature -- WOW!)
You can use it with existing webpages; it won't overwrite old html
code, without asking first. If it finds errors in existing html code
(such as missing end tags), it gives you an alert message.
FWIW, I tried PageMill and I did not like it at all.
