Don't know, never used Netscape 3 for developing web-stuff. Does it
deal with relative paths to hard-drive files?[1] If so, great. I have
no further IE vs Netscape opinion.
Why is WordPad better than Notepad? Because it has Replace, not just
Find. And because it can handle files larger than 64K (not usually an
HTML file issue, but it comes up at other times).
Notepad is better than WordPad because you can open a file by dragging
it from Explorer.
I suppose a *real* text editor would be better than either. But I
haven't bothered to learn TextPad.

[1] Prior messages in the thread indicated that only IE would handle
local-file references without explicit sourcing/pathing.
