I think I'm going back farther than you think. Webstar, BBEdit, and of course the Macromedia stuff which was in it's infancy. Macs seemed like a bargain compare

  I'm talking pre-Macromedia. The mid-90s to mid-00s were ruled by Windows developers on the web, with a slice for Linux and Mac users. Mac didn't become any sort of influence until sometime between 2006 and 2009 and certainly didn't gain its current popularity with web developers until 2012-2013. If you're talking pre-Windows 95, certainly Mac was more popular than after it's release. But the OS also had a much more sizeable marketshare[1] and the inverse was true (Windows was devoid of software and tools). At the same time, however, the web was also much smaller and certainly still in it's nascent infancy. 1 - https://arstechnica.com/features/2005/12/total-share/7/ https://arstechnica.com/features/2005/12/total-share/7/
