For an editor, I use TextPad for nearly everything.
For HTML vs XHTML, I just wrote the following on another site:

There is no such thing as "HTML". There are HTML specifications. The pages you author need to follow a particular specification, or "flavor" of HTML.
You tell the browser which specification you adhere to by using a "doctype". It's a declaration you make just prior to the <html> tag.
The vBulletin system is written to the XHTML 1.0 Transitional doctype/specification. That means, only those tags which are within that specification should be used.
A document that is "valid" is one that adheres to the specification.
Q. What if I don't declare a doctype?
A. The browser will just "guess", and use its own internal defaults. This is very bad news particularly with IE, which is simply screwball about things. You'll wonder why your code "works" in one browser but not another.
Q. What if I use a non-standard tag, or something from another HTML specification (such as <center>)?
A. It will probably render fine. However, the danger is two-fold:
1. You don't really know, as the browser is rendering that tag however it likes, NOT in relation to a published specification.
2. The day is coming when the user will control what to do with non-compliant code, just as they can control whether to render graphics, styles, and scripts today. On that day, millions of pages break because the authors didn't care about validation.
