Well, regular notepad isn't Notepad++, now is it? But i get the point you're making.Dreamweaver sure does make it easier, but you won't learn the gritty fundamentals by using a tool. Absolute Positioned Divs can be awkward, issues can be caused by a few things; inherited values, undeclared values, being wrongly nested. As well as a few others, but those are by far the most common.
Personally, I do all of my CSS / HTML / JS using notepad++, and stay hella clear of tools such as dreamweaver. I don't dislike tools per sé, but I dislike the false sense of simplicity that those tools offer. Some things in the three aforementioned languages are strict, and easy to overlook when using tools, as they will compensate. Which then leads to naivety, and ultimately, becoming unable to write out 'code'.
