I use DreamWeaver MX and have no problems getting my pages indexed pretty much where I would like them, Personally I think there is a lot more to consider when trying to index under a search term than what editor you use.
If you do not understand the basic SE requirements then it does not matter what you write your pages in.
That said I have not tried many of the more competitive terms yet.
I've found in many facets of life , that the people that know the most often say the least
Building trust and partnerships as well as earning respect among other webmasters is one of the most important things you can do to improve rankings, Often you can ask friends to link you up to similar relevant sites they own to help each other out.
Naturally they would only do these trades with people they can trust and respect
Like most things in life , Getting to the top is much easier than trying to stay there.
