You ought to also try HomeSite from Allaire (http://www.allaire.com).  It is
an HTML editor that really shines in my book.  Not only can do tag-level
editing (with very helpful help and tag-building dialogs) but if you have
IE4 installed on the system you can also do WYSIWYG editing.  It can be
extended in various ways, (new commands, toolbar buttons, code snippets, tag
creation dialogs, etc.) It can do FTP uploads as well as editing remote
files as if they were local.

Perhaps building an add-on for HomeSite would be a great answer for the Zope
IDE question.  Imagine adding a tab to the toolbar labeled "Zope" or "DTML"
with a collection of buttons for inserting Zopish things into the
document...

Just my $0.02
