Hot take, I guess, but can you actually say the slop that came out of dreamweaver is any worse than the React-based slop that most people generate now?

25 years ago it was font tags and table layouts, now it’s a styled components div soup generated by 2-3 orders of magnitude more code, in a sprawling NPM dependency tree that takes several minutes to install on modern hardware.

It’s all crap once you get away from the simplest prototype and single-person project.
