This question sure has evolved. I remember when this question was in search of just 1 decent HTML editor. Now the question has really evolved to "OF ALL the HTML editors which one is the best"
The really answer really stems from what you are trying to accomplish there are now tons of really good choices and you just need to decide what fit's your use the best
Here is a list
OpenOffice: Is a WSYWIG editor AND an HTML syntax editor build in. In addition it is a great office suite for FREE. It also does not add a lot of garbage MSWord puts into their HTML(CROSS PLATFORM)
Word: Much like open office but their HTML has lots of other garbage inserted that it is not very portable w/o other editors browser complaining about something in the file
(Windows/MAC)
Nvu: Good editor but I find this too buggy and sluggish for me. (CROSS PLATFORM)
VI(VIM/Elvis): I still use this editor more than any other editor. Once your fingers remember the VI commands there is nothing faster than this editor. (CROSS PLATFORM).
There are also some VI editors (elvis/vim) that allow you to toggle between HTML WSYSWIG and Syntax.
BIGGER BUT BETTER
There are also free development studios out there that do a great job of editing HTML code
NetBeans: This is a Web/Java development suite that has an excellent HTML editor and great Search & Replace functionality. You can even user regular expressions in their tool
Eclipse: (Same as above) but I find Netbeans much easer to use.
MS Express IDE(J++/C#/etc..): You can find their IDE editor "express" version for free on the net. Their editor have greatly evolved. If you are on an MS Windows platform this is probably one of the best editors out there.
