Not to down on editors/compilers, they have a purpose, but to truly learn, I always recommend something Notepad-ish. Once you've gotten the basics down and you're looking for something to do the grunt work of your pages, then editors are fine. Still, though, I haven't seen an editor yet, even those that run 100 bucks plus, that produce clean usable code that you can upload to a site immediately. You still have to go back and clean things up manually.
If you learn by WYSIWYG editors, you won't know how to clean up or otherwise debug your pages. Learn the hard way, then use the easy way when applicable.
I like to use Dreamweaver for tables and such, but nothing gets uploaded until it's been scanned by a very picky eye in Notepad.
