I use Emacs with a hacked-up version of Mark Andreesen's
html-helper-mode for markup and dia for drawings.  Xfig is more
powerful but dia has more of that good stuff we all loved from Visio.

The default sgml-mode in emacs kicks in whenever you edit .html, .htm,
.xml and .sgml files and it's actually pretty decent.  I you can hit
C-c C-v and it'll automatically pump your buffer into Netscape and it
can validate your document against a DTD if you're doing strict XHTML
or DocBook.
