Shaun,
I like lowercase tags, too!

In HomeSite 4.0, menubar Options-Settings-HTML tab
has "Lowercase all inserted tags".  

Also there is menubar-Edit-"Convert Tag Case"
which will convert all tags to lowercase.

As someone else mentioned, you can configure HomeSite's CodeSweeper to
indent and capitalize exactly like you want it.

I used to use only Notepad, for reasons similar to what you said,
I don't like the software to mess with my code, even to indent or
capitalize. But after I got HomeSite configured correctly,
I never looked back.

I use HomeSite with DreamWeaver, so I NEVER use HomeSite's WYSIWYG window,
which is, indeed, atrocious! But these two programs, *used together*,
are my favorite tools for writing html.
