The first HTML editor I used was HoTMetaL in 1994, but I'm sure I used HotDog at some point as well. If you didn't know, the world wide web was really "hot" back then.

The utter tragedy of Windows 3.1/95 toolbars

I, too, used EditPlus back in the Windows XP days. The killer feature was writing files directly to a remote server via FTP back when I thought that was a reasonable way to do web development.

When I worked at Hitachi, we all did live SFTP editing on a dev server and manually copied the files to production, also using SFTP. Good times! I do still find myself wanting to do that with VS Code today and getting annoyed when it doesn't work, so I just edit through Transmit.

Hey, at least it was SFTP?
