Dreamweaver let you try to do things that wouldn't play nice with HTML and it would use the limited tools available at the time to make bloated sites that still didn't look right in most browsers.
Then since Dreamweaver was garbage people decided that any WYSIWYG HTML-editor is guaranteed to be terrible and nobody ever tried again.
- Animats 10y agoThere's a disruption possibility. CSS is now good enough and browsers are now compliant enough that a WYSIWYG HTML editor is feasible again. The parent article points out that you barely need Javascript any more. Lay off those overpaid "web designers". Someone is trying: "https://www.tinymce.com" https://www.tinymce.com". No idea how good this is.
