What do you use for writing HTML by hand?

Kwrite/Kate. Auto-closing tags and all.

I appreciate the rundown! I started getting used to Emmet now, it's certainly more friendly than it looks. I think this is what I was looking for.

The short-hand for CSS in Emmet is also pretty neat, but It'll take some time to get used to it. w75p m10 turns into width: 75%; margin:10px

I'm still a windows pleb, so no Zed for me. Fleet I haven't heard of before.

I'm also very much one that likes a lot of convenience. RustRover is know from experience with both pycharm and Rider. But my main points are convenient functionality, autocomplete, debugger, code navigation, formatting and cleanup and git diff readily available. RustRover might be big and heavy, but it let's me focus on writing and running my code without much issues.

oh, ok

Fleet I haven't heard of before

It is Jetbrains newest thing, an all language ide, an answer to VsCodium and Zed I guess, it's still stuck in beta though

I understand your points about convenience and experience though

I would advise against using pixels for margin/padding since it'll have issues for users who have different zoom/text sizes than you do.

Stick to rem for margin and padding.

If you're still early days with css, it's worth pointing out that you should use a "css reset" file. It will solve problems for you that you don't even know exist yet.

I just write everything in vim, including raw html.

Not sure what your use case is, but if it's a static website you'd probably want a static site generator so you can write in markdown and then also include raw html for things that markdown can't represent.

I'm not the person you were saying this to, but thank you for this! I'm a super-noob, sort of learning as I go by trying different things as I make my cat a webpage for shits and giggles, and you gave me some helpful stuff to try and look into. I appreciate it!

A keyboard.
