      One of the old holdouts on my last machine was FrontPage. I used FrontPage to edit all the HTML documents that I used.

      Granted, there aren't that many documents these days that need that kind of editing, but here and there I needed to edit a non CMS page and see what it looked like.

      I was wondering what GUI-based HTML editors people were using, if anyone is still actually editing HTML.

        I know my Pops uses the Microsoft Expression Web. I've tinkered with it a bit, and it doesn't seem too shabby to me.

          Nit that I quit using HTML.. but I learned that CMS like Joomla!, Drupal or Wordpress was faster and 'self standing'.

          Got me away from all the MS tied software.

            I have a handful of files I use once a year that I've been too lazy to convert over.

            Couple of core things for an NCAA tournament we run.

              That was decent for that kind of editing, that's what replaced FrontPage for modern HTML.

                I wouldn't mind finding a good one, but they all seem to b0rk the code somehow... Things may work great in Chrome, but not Firefox.... or they'll work great in Firefox, but not Chrome. (We won't even speak about IE, lol).

                Dreamweaver is the WYSYWIG editor that I'm most familiar with that actually worked well with most everything... also the most pricey.

                    I love NotePad++, but it's not a WSYSWIG editor... That one is hand coding only (and generally my preferred style anyhow).

                      Dreamweaver is also not complaint with proper code.. It will fail verification every time.

                        Yea... The last time I used it, though, it worked better across more browsers than some of the other ones we tried.

                          Yeah, the concept of a WYSIWYG editor died nearly a decade ago. Nothing like this exists in any usable form today, AFAIK.

                                    If you are familiar with bootstrap, you could try Pingendo it is free and easy visual desktop applicacion. If you want to buy, Pinegrow is also nice and is also a desktop app.

                                    If you prefer online editing you could try one of these: Divshot, Jetstrap, Brix.io, bootply

                                            I will add Codiad (http://codiad.com/) to this list as well. I like this one -- it has integrated Git support too!
