I missed the tools like FrontPage/DreamWaver and gorgeous Flash websites.
Never missed FrontPage/DreamWaver..
DreamWaver is an appropriate name...

#52My favorite like this site is http://www.burger.com - this dude has a hilarious array of hobbies and awesome beveled button links.
Ah papyrus oh how I missed you from high school.

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's a client side problem, not a server side problem. The rendering and presentation of a webpage are entirely up to the client, absolutely nothing dictates that a page should look a certain way on a certain client.
There are a ton of attributes in the HTML that dictates how the website should render - it has a bgcolor and a margin on the body tag, a width and height on the main table, center tags all over the place, etc. Suggesting that a browser should ignore the HTML spec and do something else would completely destroy the web.
On the other hand, reader mode suggests that sometimes ignoring the way the site wants to be presented is a good thing.

This is hilarious! Turns out 18 year old websites were mobile friendly after all
Pre frames and table-layout designs are pretty good, because they are dead simple HTML - and thus, they allow reflow, being responsive as a result.
This is not one of those.

Almost all of the performance-unfriendliness has been designed in. Especially for monetisation.

#57Anyone else still sad over the demise of FrontPage Express? It did everything I needed at the time, it was free, and really easy to use. The HTML wasn't as bad as FrontPage either.
I got my start with web dev using Netscape Composer, which was a similar enough tool. Seamonkey, the successor of Netscape and Mozilla Suite, still includes it to this day and it works well!

More like 18 year old websites are so rare that page rating services don't even work for them.
