Nancy is correct.
And from what I've seen, it's pretty much Dreamweaver, although some ads tend to want ability to hard-code as well (which I have done).

If I understand Ken correctly, he's asking what is the most desired, most commonly used tool. Right, Ken?
The problem with various free, relatively unknown tools is that they don't get you jobs. If everyone is looking for Dreamweaver, it doesn't matter that you're a wiz with OpenSourceWhoopee.
Ken, maybe one way to go about finding this out is to look at web developer jobs on boards like Monster.com. I wonder if you can look at job listings by tool, so you could see how many job listings ask for DreamWeaver, how many ask for OpenSourceWhoopee, and so on.
That would give you an idea of which tools are most commonly used and desired by employers. Good luck.
