Gregory's Server@jalefkowit as far as I know SeaMonkey is the only branch that kept plugging away at the idea that a 'web browser' could and should also be a 'web editor'.
It's a great loss that we don't have any mainstream web editors today.

@maphew I don’t disagree, I just think that idea kind of got impossible to realize as web publishing branched out to encompass things like databases and programming languages. It all just got too complicated to wrap into a single product. Even more ambitious attempts like FrontPage and Dreamweaver lost traction eventually.
That being said, I think plain old static web publishing is overdue for a comeback. Package up an HTML editor with some fun CSS themes and cheap static hosting, and tell Gen Z it’s retro hip, the Polaroid of web publishing. I think that could actually find some takers!
