In the late 90's there were free WYSIWYG apps that generated reliable HTML/CSS. I did a deep search recently into finding the Microsoft FrontPage equivalent of today, and the only one I could find that worked reliably was Adobe Dreamweaver, and it's not free.

(Kompozer, Brackets, SeaMonkey, BlueGriffon, etc. did not work reliably for me. I found that TinyMCE etc. are WYSIWYG for text, but not for positioning [i.e. they are "rich text editors"])

Why did such free WYSIWYG apps to generate HTML/CSS die out? Anyone have theories?
