I find it hard to believe anyone would use Notepad past the “wow I can edit this HTML file” phase. I found PSPad years before I started working.

Note the "years ago" part. Options were limited for non terminal free/cheap options for a long time.

Wiki says PSPad came out in 2001, I'd guess this experience predated that.

In 1999, I made a Starcraft blog entirely in Notepad. There may have been other options at the time but my download speed was < 28k in rural Tennessee.
