I have recently 'dumped' KDE in favor of xfce4. In KDE I would generally do my coding with the kate text editor and some of my web development with quanta plus. I know I can keep the kdebase and run those programs in xfce, but I would rather not. Quanta Plus always seemed unstable and I had other minor dislikes. Are there any other possibly 'dreamweaver equivalents' (does NOT have to be WYSIWYG) for Linux?

Also, please suggest a good GUI text editor. vi has got me covered for command line edits. I just want something with syntax highlighting and easy to use for xfce. Some people show strong dislikes of emacs and it seems kinda complicated...

I definitely suggest you try Bluefish out...it's a GUI text-editor, but has syntax-hilightning for many different codings (php, C, html etc etc etc), "quick-buttons" to insert html-code and a lot of other stuff...in my holy opinion it's the best text-based (not wysiwyg) editor ever made and still it's not big, and it works.

EDIT: Bluefish can also handle many different character set codings and other stuff so you don't get jammed when editing some iso-8859-1 -file with UTF-8-only editor (just an example) well, anyway, try it out. I found it difficult not to like it.. :P hehe

I like and use Anjuta for many coding projects ... not just C but also PHP. Anjuta is like your familiar kdevelop only it's based on and for gtk/gnome.
