I've not used any of them (so I can't speak to how well they work- I
also haven't used Dreamweaver, so, there's that :-) but
AlternativeTo.net lists several:

A few FLOSS ones:
* http://aptana.com/ (actually, this looks pretty cool, I'm
bookmarking it to check it out later :-)
* http://www.kompozer.net/
* http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/index.html

There's also Amaya that Mike Cherba mentioned.
