There are two very different types of software you list: some are WYSIWYG editors, and some are text-only editors. Was photoshop made for mac. The WYSIWYG tools are fun, but (in my opinion) are more useful for hobbyists and tweakers. The code they output is overly verbose, inflexible, and lacks the semantic ordering that (currently) only human thought can produce. Yes, tons of people use them, but they are not used 'in the industry' by any reputable front-end web designer or developer I know. If you want a tool that you can grow into, I would jump right into a text editor like Coda, Espresso, Textmate or similar.

This will make you focus on the markup you write and give a better understanding of what is happening (and why) when your HTML/CSS is rendered in a browser. Dreamweaver is a program stuck between two worlds - it has both a WYSIWYG mode and a text editor - but I still do not recommend it for beginners. I have seen too many beginners develop bad habits or become reliant on some of its WYSIWYG features. Dreamweaver was once the tool of choice in web design, but over time the majority moved away from it towards something lighter and more nimble.

Dreamweaver was once the tool of choice in web design, but over time the majority moved away from it towards something lighter and more nimble. It all depends on you personal preferences. Actually Coda 2 has more features (Code snippets or how they call it, FTP etc.) than Sublime I'd say, but my idea is that if I'm choosing TextEditor I choose the one that do what it is intended to do the best. And that I think Sublime is instead of Coda 2. I did try Coda 2 on day one, it was released and I did get back to TextMate after 2 days.

Web design software nowadays is DEAD easy to use — and they make your design look good. It’s almost like laying on your couch while messaging your friends on your phone to say “what’s up”, instead of using a dirty payphone 4 blocks away at the gas station.

Sublime is pretty fast, it, if I remember correctly, has even auto complete, but I personally like TextMate more. I have been using it like 5 or more years and all the work behind bundles and settings I made.I just not like going to switch it soon. Whatever you choice will be, I wish you good luck! I am in the beginner stages right now as well and this is what I've found to be the best option.
