What's wrong with launching a file watcher, opening the page in a browser, and editing away with any IDE of your choice?

Not everyone makes websites by hand. I know people that strictly use WYSIWYG editors to make static content. My friend uses this very archaic looking program to make his static content. They all look like design straight taken from geocities but it's what they use. I doubt they're a small co-hort.

They're probably larger in number than devs.

OP literally said "I wish there was still something good that just edited HTML and CSS locally and uploaded it."

		OP didn't say that he personally wanted to edit html and css, just something that did it for him :)

Sure, if only people who are programmers should have the right to express themselves online. The old school internet was completely destroyed when all wysiwyg tools where killed for no reason about 15 years ago. And now the same hackers who killed it and banished all normal people to social media are wondering "where did my good old internet go?".

How much good music would we have if you were forced to build a guitar in order to play it?

The power of CSS has increased to the point that you don't really need Javascript for layout any more.[1] So WYSIWYG tools could work again. Probably faster.

		That suggests a new kind of WYSIWYG editor. It only does declarative HTML/CSS, no Javascript. Maybe it edits the DOM, not the source. When you save to a file, the HTML and CSS are generated. Maybe use Webkit to do the rendering. If you want any Javascript, it has to be in a separate .js file, not mixed in with the document.

That's writing HTML and CSS by hand, which is a pain.
