I love this. All the talk of low-code-no-code now have never heard of FrontPage 98.

I remember my reaction the first time I looked at some code produced by FrontPage: "what the fuck?"

Like others have mentioned, the volume of useless code produced by those visually-driven HTML editors was ridiculous. Took forever to sort through it when the same thing could be accomplished with just a few lines.

I know. It was terrible, verbose. But it could create with ease all of the features mentioned in this post. Those were simpler times.
