Need help choosing a web dev platform, any suggestions?

So I'm an old school web developer, started doing web dev in 1995. For many years I used Microsoft's Frontpage product, then Expression Web. They had a nice environment with site wide search and replace, a toolbox of HTML, Form and other controls, drag and drop menus, ASP.NET and AJAX code, a debugging environment, site publishing that would detect what had changed locally and upload only the changed files to the website, color-coded HTML and CSS parsing and look-up when typing in code, and a built-in WYSIWYG display or split screen with your code so you didn't have to break from the dev environment and open a browser to check your code. Microsoft discontinued Expression Web about 4 years ago. I've been basically out of the web dev game for 5 years and am now picking it up again. When I ask other web developers what they use I get answers like "I use Notepad and a web browser to check my code." I guess I'm looking now for some web dev environment that is as sophisticated as Web Expression was. I could go to Visual Studio, but it is overkill for someone who is basically a designer, not a hard core ASP.NET, C# or Javascript coder. I miss the publishing, drag and drop controls, color-coded type ahead HTML and CSS coding environment and WYSIWYG display. Can someone out there recommend something somewhere between Expression Web and Notepad?
