Same here! I started sprinkling in JavaScript from copy and paste snippets you’d find all over the web and eventually I moved on to PHP (for a small while) then Ruby on Rails.

Basically I’d make something look like how I wanted, then just delete all the extra trash and repeating tags until I knew enough of what it did to write my own.

I thought I used Coffezilla, but it looks like maybe it was CoffeeCup, except at a glance I’m not sure that’s a WYSIWYG editor. Maybe things changed in the intervening decades.

Likewise.
Unfortunately everything else I learned was ethereal and went away, and I’ve got a learning disability that really doesn’t like it when a new system is slightly different than a previous system I’d learned.
I was all in on .shtml (anything but php or css), Shockwave/Macromedia Director 7 and Bryce for graphics.
I could never get back into it using the mainstream stuff.
