As with everything it depends on what you want it to do and how hard you want to work.
Some people insist on using Notepad, other people install a CMS, yet others use hosted services such as tumblr. Obviously if you want ABSOLUTE control over every aspect you should code the whole site from scratch using notepad or notepad ++ (or any plain text editor) If you just want to have a site up and running and be able to update it without worrying about how I would use either a hosted service or one of the aforementioned CMS.
As for me, I use Visual Studio at work, we do a lot of vbscript (Im actually sad to admit that) At home I use Textmate (very nice Mac text editor) and am trying to learn how to do asp.net and c# using Visual Studio.
Don't be intimidated by people saying that REAL programmers use notepad (or
butterflies) A REAL programmer uses the tool which allows them to most efficiently achieve their goals. The first step is defining your goals, do you want a site up quickly and easily? Do you want to learn how the tools work?
