I maintain a small business website with notepad. HTML in the raw.
Why not use something like Notepad++ or KWrite?
You'd typically want Kate rather than KWrite, if you're gonna do development. Basically the same editor, but with more power-user features.
There are plenty of consenting adults who would be happy to punch you in the genitals, why not just do that instead?
Oh god, I remember the days of creating webpages by hand-editing HTML in notepad. And not fondly.
I enjoyed it :(
I mean I'm not here to shit on anybody else's good time, I just hated it myself.
"Ah, you think IDEs are your ally. But you merely adopted the lDE. I was born in Notepad, molded by it. I didn't see syntax highlighting until I was already a man. By then, it was nothing to me but blinding!"
Someone asked me what IDE I use for python and I’m so dumb I didn’t even know what they meant. I just said whatever the fedora gnome text editor app is… who needs IDEs!
Real OG's let their brains do the highlighting, like God intended
