Title: WYSIWYG&#x2F;GUI frontend editors have been around for years now, but the standard development process for frontend developers is still to crack out an IDE or text editor and write HTML&#x2F;CSS by hand. For such a technical industry this seems like a strange trend - why wouldn&#x27;t we leverage tools and technology to make building HTML&#x2F;CSS less of a boilerplate activity?<p>It makes sense that it could be related to the widgetisation of frontends, with chunks of HTML appearing in different locations or as embedded JSX, but I see no reason why editors couldn&#x27;t provide integration by allowing single documents to be sliced up into smaller components and kept in sync.<p>So, HN, what&#x27;s your take on the lack of adoption of GUIs for building frontends?
