Mozilla SeaMonkey still has the HTML editor (and has been updated within a year!). SeaMonkey is strange because it looks like it was pulled straight out of 1999, but still has a Modern version of FireFox in there, even with the F12 web developer tools, despite also having the historical version of those same web developer tools there too.

If you want to test it out, make sure you install https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/release... from there, because it won't show up in the extensions search.

And I use it regularly.

I quite often need to update some of our static web pages. Not only does SeaMonkey do the job well, I'm not aware of anything else remotely similar that is still maintained (admittedly I haven't looked in a while).

Lightweight static HTML is a winner for many uses, and I'm honestly puzzled why there is so little of it remaining.

+1 to that. I still use SeaMonkey every time I need to edit HTML docs directly. Works great, haven't found anything better. (Admittedly haven't looked too hard for anything better because SeaMonkey works just fine.)


It's awesome that this is still maintained. I'm curious what motivates the maintainers.


Probably the fact they some people do still use it (likely themselves included).
