After reading the thread, I am worried about just how many people are using Dreamweaver! I tried it years ago, and found it too hard. Perhaps now that I am generally more experienced, I should try it again!

You have forgotten 2 tools. XAMPP and Brackets. Brackets is a tool similar with Dreamweaver. However it is more fast than the Dreamweaver and developers can use it with ease..!!

Being a blog owner, I cannot live without every other tools that help me keeping touch with my blog and getting my blog better. The first tool would be 'Google Chrome' or 'Mozilla Firefox' to set my internet connection up and to open my blog. The second would be 'Wordpress'. The third tool would be 'Grammarly' from where I double-check my content for any grammatical errors (and it never failed to save my reputation!). The fourth tool would be SEMrush, my all-rounder SEO checking tool to check keywords etc. And the fifth tool would be 'Copyscape' to check whether my content has any plagiarism or not. Another important service website in my life is 'Contentmart' from where I hire freelancers and their contents actually enrich my blog even more. That's it!
