Ace HTML 4

Now, right off the bat I need to tell you that Ace HTML 4 freeware has been discontinued. Bummer you say, I agree with you. This couldn't have come at a worse time. As I write this I am expecting an email for permission to re-distribute ACE-HTML from Csteps computing, so keep your fingers crossed.
Ace HTML has earned my respect, and I am in awe at what this program can do, both because of the ease of use, and because of the variety of features available.
Csteps Computing recommends Ace HTML 4 freeware as it's program of choice. From beginners to advanced web designers, this program does a tremendous job, and all for the price of $0.00 American currency.
Take Note:
Ace HTML 4(AH) can be upgraded to ACE HTML 5 pro, an advanced version, for a fee. And also a big poop in the bowl is that Ace HTML 4 does have FTP capabilities but only for ACEFTP, a product of the same company. If you don't have AceFTP then you don't have an FTP manager.

This is what Ace HTML looks like, you can see the four different windows, all of which can be docked or un-docked in any manner you wish. Actually, depending on how you arrange your desktop, as it's called, you may have more than 6 windows. I've set it up to what best suits me, and my habits.
