People genuinely thought ColdFusion would allow untrained businessmen to make complex websites with no coding, only markup. It could generously be described as a “web framework”, and it was released in 1995.
Wysiwygs were all the rage in the late 90s early 00s with a promise that the hard part of development was actually just doing the layout.
Tools like frontpage have been tricking incredulous entrepreneurs that programming is easy since at least then.
In revenge for reminding me of Frontpage I will also mention Dreamweaver. God just the memory of trying to clean up copy text someone edited in Frontpage is giving me nausea.
