I would like few suggestions / alternatives for Adobe's Dreamweaver application.

I am a web designer and I don't want to pay for subscription based software (but I don't mind to purchase it) so I am looking for a program to replace my Dreamweaver CS5.

What I need is a program for website development, for PC, usable as either a WYSIWYG or direct code editor. I want it to be able to display a split view for both modes on-screen, to handle site management, active content from Flash to Javascript, XML, HTML5, CSS etc.

Finally I want to be able to preview the content / pages I create in real time using a built-in browser.

Could you please provide any suggestions?
