What Design Software Does Everyone Use?

I’m still learning web design and would like to know which editors and design programs you find the best?

I’m currently using Sitespinner for my web pages and Paint shop pro for the graphics. I like both programs but would like to test out a few more.

I recently have tried Mambo which is a content mangament software and it seems to have a steep learning curve for me but would be a very powerful program if I put the time in to learning about it’s features. If anyone uses this could you tell me if it’s worth learning and where I can get some good free templates?

thanks
Roger
