This felt relieving. As in: some part of me had felt stupid for thinking some of this seems really unintuitive when using it in practice. Like z-index stuff, margins, vertical-align, border-radius, ...

Meanwhile, one of the linked pages mentioned bluegriffon, so I got curious if such editors can handle template languages such as django's.

While I don't know that yet (edit:no templates at all, what a shame), I also found this tutorial, and it was inspiring that such a pedagogical approach to online authoring still exists.

Edit: no seriously, why don't these editors support at least some established template language? I think dreamweaver had a concept of templates, which made using these editors make at least some sense.

Edit: oh wow dreamweaver still exists. Any of you have experience? Still good?
