I don’t like front-end development but I enjoy writing things by hand rather than rely on one-off classes. Even in my blog, I tend to write a lot of HTML manually throughout the post, like creating a quick container to put two images side-by-side and center them, making blockquotes, the occasional nested list, in-line CSS, etc…

I’ve written some of it in VSCode and Joplin but I didn’t find it comfortable to write in either of them. What editor/extensions do you use to make dealing with HTML easier? I’m currently looking at Emmet, but it looks a bit intimidating to learn.

Edit: I ended up using Emmet for writing HTML in general along with Espanso for quickly inserting some templates I use. It’s working out pretty well!

    Depends on context, but

    • Notepad++
    • Visual Studio
    • Visual Studio Code
    • Double Commander “quick”-editor
    • vim
    • micro
    • Firefox dev tools (console, dom edit)

    When I write HTML, I don’t use IDE features but accept them in Visual Studio.
