Which operating system are you on? (Sometimes it's relevant, and you mention notepad++.)
On Linux, I like kate, but IDK if it has live html preview. I use it for Rust and general editing, not for web development admittedly.
I believe it does have HTML preview when using the document preview plugin and with kparts packages installed. When ive used the preview tool i think you can have a split screen view with one half the file and the other the preview, but ive not tested it with html.
I like Kate myself, its a good editor with support for numerous languages, and a decent session system and a range of plugins.
