Fireworks
Photoshop

Homesite (for client-side stuff)
NoteTab Lite (free and very nice & powerful editor)
Zend

I'm using a customised XAMPP (saved me from configuring everything myself) as a localhost.

Personally, I don't like the HTML Dreamweaver produces too much, but I sometimes use it for creating quick pages.
