we've come full circle - macromedia dreamweaver had this in 2001

Yes, but Dreamweaver had the render broken since about 2001 (I don't know the actual date, mine is a joke).

Vs code being chromium means actual browser rendering

Wait till you hear about Typescript, you know adding types to ECMAScript, like Macromedia did some 20 years ago. :)

Being in the industry for 20+ years and starting as a teenager making games in Flash it makes really hard for me to treat webdev seriously with all their revolutionary innovations.

At work I often encounter a resistance to a tech or solution I propose, because "there hasen't been any substational contribution to the repository in a week, seems dead to me". To which I kindly respond with a question - how do you calculate hypotenuse, because it's been a long time since Pythagoras made the last commit. Meanwhile, some of my friends are still doing side jobs using CakePHP, 20 years later. :)

Well, Visual Studio 6.0's Visual Interdev (1998) had actual browser rendering (via the Trident engine used in Internet Explorer I assume), including Java applets, which would run in the "Quick view" mode, but also amazingly in the Source [code] mode!
