Alternative to Dreamweaver?

Question

I'm tired of Dreamweaver overwriting wrong files on the server,

so I'm looking for an alternative.

I want color-coding and possibility to open/save and edit files direct from the server, so I don't need to save files on my desktop first.

I'm using Windows.

Every web developer should be hand-writing their mark-up - all forms of automated abstraction inhibit your understanding and awareness of the code and create maintenance problems for the future. I'm quite a zealot about this, you may be able to tell.

On that basis, I can heartily recommend Editplus: has code colouring, FTP and a huge amount of feature-sugar from line duplication to macros.
