What do you use for writing HTML by hand? (self.programming)

I don't like front-end development but I enjoy writing things by hand rather than rely on one-off classes. Even in my blog, I tend to write a lot of HTML manually throughout the post, like creating a quick container to put two images side-by-side and center them, making blockquotes, the occasional nested list, in-line CSS, etc...

I've written some of it in VSCode and Joplin but I didn't find it comfortable to write in either of them. What editor/extensions do you use to make dealing with HTML easier? I'm currently looking at Emmet, but it looks a bit intimidating to learn.

Edit: I ended up using Emmet for writing HTML in general along with Espanso for quickly inserting some templates I use. It's working out pretty well!

This is the way. It reminds me of writing pug back when it was still called Jade. Probably the only time I enjoyed writing HTML or templating.
