Except he fucked up and set the dinosaur permissions to 774 instead of 754.

I'm thinking about making a little rudimentary indieweb-type website for myself. Does anyone have any suggestions for a text editor that works on Linux that is good for HTML and CSS? I know that you can write both in literally any text editor whatsoever, but are there any that have like good tools or features that are helpful for those in particular?

VS Code seems to be the go-to for this job according to a lot of people, but it seems like a bit much for the simple stuff I want to do. It's open source, so I'm fine using it, I'm just wondering what the alternatives are, if any.

You could use vim with proper plugins for it. Or you could give one of the recent newer VS Code successors a try, like LiteXL or Zed, which comes from the original developers of Atom but is much quicker because it doesn't use Electron garbage.

Aside that maybe looking at static site generators might be worth taking a look, at things like e.g. Hugo.

Personally I like vi but a lot of people prefer emacs. It's time to bury the hatchet and stop kink-shaming them.

VS Code seems a good solution -- I've never used it for web development, but I've used it for other things, and it always seems to have useful features tailored to each development type.

If you've never used vi/vim or emacs before, the learning curve is probably too steep to justify the climb, especially given that it will take a fair bit of knowledge and work to set them up for what you want, when VS Code gives you that straight out of the box.

(I speak as an Emacs fan!)

I would VS Code if I wanted an IDE but usually I just use Nano in Linux.

SeaMonkey Composer....or vim.

SeaMonkey Composer

Oh wow. Netscape Composer lives!

Back then that was the only decent web editor I found that was both user-friendly for tech writers and actually edited HTML instead of maintaining some kind of internal format and converting it to horrible HTML on output. I got all our guys to switch over to it from Word's HTML generator and the corporate web page gained three levels and an epic mount as a result.

What's sad is that it is still the only decent user friendly HTML editor because Kompozer, Bluegriffon, and Nvu are defunct.
