Dot matrix printers + fanfold paper

These are still heavily used at airports and the sound of the dot matrix printer going at the gate is usually a sign that boarding is starting soon.

Dreamweaver.

No, hear me out.

Yes, the WYSIWYG was WYSIWYG, so it produced mediocre markup (tho eons better than FrontPage).

But the code view was solid. You could use it to write PHP with syntax highlighting and then switch to WYSIWYG view for editing copy and doing light formatting like bold/italics/headings.

And Dreamweaver had a DOM-based HTML search/replace that I’ve never seen the like of elsewhere. It was utterly brilliant and saved me hours each week.
