Having cut my teeth on FrontPage, I remember being unreasonably happy with the markup generated by DreamWeaver.
No-code.

What’s old is new again.

WYSIWYG
Confluence does the same thing now.
I only had Notepad (the default Windows text editor). I longed for Microsoft Frontpage and HoTMetaL and Dreamweaver. Looking back, I'm glad gained experience on the native experience rather than through the editor abstractions because it forced me to learn.
I longed for Flash but I learned DHTML instead. I bet many young readers haven't heard of that "technology".
Now I have to do stuff like this manually. Seems like things are regressing.
LOL, also spacer.gif(Not so much FrontPage but it reminded me of the times).
we love to see it
