Open Office runs on windoze, and it converts to PDF very well.

For HTML/CSS/XML/Javascript/etc. there's also bluefish, which is a nice 
little editor for linux, but my favorite is Jedit- the only thing I can 
think of comprable to it is Xemacs (or emacs, but this has all the 
visual cues of Xemacs & then some).

It's java, so it's cross-platform, and the code is tighter and the app 
more responsive than your average java app.
