The latest release of Microsoft Code (32 bit & 64 bit) is the best I have seen so far. It has Emmet embedded in it and to start with all you need is to create a new file by going to:
File >> New
Now save file as: .html
To create a basic page press <! and tab it. HTML5 document will be created and it has auto-complete as well. I have to say it is better than Dreamweaver.
<https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_16>
The download link is at the top right corner at the above link.

Any idea how it compares to Microsoft's own Expression Web 4?

Expression Web 4 (free) is also a very good one except that it is no
longer developed so new tags are not available. Also some CSS3 tags
are also not in Expression Web4. "VS Code" is definitely a way
forward and you get updates every 3 months with new features and new
extensions.
Good thing about Code is that it can be used for other programming languages like C, C++, C#, php, java, JS etc. They are all supported by downloading extensions. Just one text editor for everything. No need for Notepad++ or brackets or anything that is sold as premium product.
To create an HTML document, start Code >> New file >> Select the language as shown in the picture attached and then enter: ! and tab it and you'll get basic HTML5 document on which you can start creating your page.

Previously:
<https://atom.io/> (free software¹, since 2014)
<https://atom.io/packages/language-html> (pre-installed)
<https://atom.io/packages/emmet> (add-on)
(Microsoft _Visual Studio_ Code is based on the same application framework,
GitHub’s Electron. But different to Atom, it is unfree software in that the
binaries may not be freely distributed – unfortunately, typically Micro$~1.)
Prior to that:
<https://www.sublimetext.com/> (unfree software, since 2008)
<https://github.com/sergeche/emmet-sublime> (add-on)
Prior to that:
<https://www.eclipse.org/> (free software, since 2001)
<http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/>
BTW, in the 21st century we (professional Web developers) seldom write plain
HTML (we use HTML-generating languages instead), so an HTML editor is more a
convenience than a necessity now.

There is a free version of Expression Web 4 that “free” as in free beer,

Huh? All of the "generated" HTML I produce uses templates that are

written in plain HTML. The HTML generating functionality in my language
of choice has been deprecated, and should never have been included in
the first place. It makes for really ugly and unmaintainable code.

HTML has always been plain text unless you use razor syntax in
asp/visual studio. In fact even that is plain text that can be
edited in any text editor.
"PointedEars" has some other meaning or he is using CMS packages like WP, Joomla, Drupal etc etc.. In my opinion. to create real applications you need to write your own code over which you have full control.

Prototype.js was written by people who don't know javascript for people
