The last time I was a full-time web developer, the state of the art web development IDE was Allaire HomeSite, and sadly it turns out it's no longer available. What are people using these days for front-end development? Is there anything available for Windows or Linux that's relatively lightweight but beats using Notepad++?
You might have more luck with Atom [1], though I personally use the browser tools for debugging and Sublime (currently) for editing.
For many developers these days, there's generally post-processing, from using coffeescript or jade or sass--and as far as I know, there's no "has-everything" solution out of the box that handles things for you.
You likely will already switch between editor and browser regularly--use the tools the browsers give you.
I don't think a tool like dreamweaver will serve you well these days either.
Check out Brackets: http://brackets.io/?lang=en It's optimized for HTML, CSS and JS. I've slowly fell in love with it. Very usable and well designed. Bonus points for being open source and hackable.
