I use Dreamweaver at my work and though its site-managing features are useful, the simple act of editing a webpage makes my brain bleed. I looked into Rapidweaver but it looks like there's no way to just edit a single page without making a "Rapidweaver site" out of it.
Any other ideas?

WYSIWYG Web Development is dead.
For good reasons
Coda has to be my favorite, but I picked up Espresso from MacHeist last year. After using it for a few projects I can say that it's pretty good, too.
Both applications are from great developers. Panic, the guys behind Coda, also make Transmit โ which is a fantastic FTP client. MacRabbit also develops CSSEdit, which is a great WYSIWYG CSS Editor.
TL;DR: Coda is amazing on its own. CSSEdit compliments it nicely, and Espresso is a suitable replacement to Coda as long as you use it with CSSEdit.
Of course, this is all my opinion. Download the trials and decide for yourself.
EDIT: You're right about RapidWeaver โ it's a site management application. Think of it as an Offline CMS. It's great for quick updates, but I haven't figured out how to create themes yet. There's a manual for that, and I haven't got around to learning.

A first option would be Blue Griffon http://bluegriffon.org It now has a payed version but the free one is good enough for this.
You will need probably need to strip some tags that are inserted every time you enter the design mode.
Another option is https://www.seamonkey-project.org
But if the text is quite long or you have already "taged" in Word it is probably easier to strip the attributes of the generated html.
Sometimes this aproach is faster because in the previous programs you need to select the text to be tagged.
Using Word you can go much faster using the arrows and assigning shortcuts to the tags, for example I prepared some time ago a template to assign Ctrl+1 to header 1, Ctrl+2 to header 2 upt to trl+5 that is a normal paragraph.
