I usually use Sublime, which is a text editor that is technically not free but which lets you use the "trial" edition completely indefinitely if you just keep on requesting not to pay. It's useful for coding, which is what I picked it up for, but it is also really nice for drafting posts with HTML--especially because it automatically saves everything you write upon windows being closed, whether or not you have ever remembered to name the file, and also it will remember exactly which tabs you had open the last time you opened it. So I have a Metafilter FPP drafts file and a DW linkspam file and, say, a file with a draft for that post on why I love true crime? It will remember that and save it whenever I open the program.
I use other things for drafting pieces when I won't be coding my own HTML--Scrivener works a treat for drafts that have good Rich Text editors, which DW does not--but for this use, Sublime is my buddy. At some point I will actually pay the nice people, but it's pretty spendy.
