Dreamweaver:

http://www.aptana.com/

or

Answer 2

try google's products  

Answer 3

Try searching the downloads section at http://www.zdnet.com and http://www.cnet.com

Check out the reviews and feedback left by other users to see which one will suit what you are looking for.  

I don't think there is a free program out there that is comparable to Dreamweaver.

Answer 4

Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org)

GIMPShop / Paint.Net / PhotoFiltre

OpenLaszlo (http://www.openlaszlo.org/)

Kompozer (http://kompozer.net/)

Answer 5

That's tough. You will never find anything like Adobe products as they can create art, not just manipulate a photo. You'll be damned to find an alternative to the Pen tool.

Many people like GIMP instead of Photoshop, however.
