       Ha! You scandalous turncoat, you. To think, the vim   
   community trusted you as one of their own. But now you   
   betray them. Next you'll want a separate editor for writing   
   prose and another for javascript. I've seen this before.   
   HTML editors are a gateway drug to the 21st century.   
      
      Free, cross-platform, HTML editors for writing a single   
   anchor tag? I guess that pretty much boils it down to   
   VSCode. It's free, cross-platform and probably less than   
   2 GB. I'm guessing it has REAL colorcoding of text and   
   "intellisense" menus. It's a sophisticated IDE. You can really   
   show that A tag who's boss with VSCode.   
      
      Surprisingly, most HTML editors are actually quite expensive.   
   It seems like there were dozens of free ones back in the 90s.   
   For Windows-only there are various lightweight options, like   
   maybe CoffeeCup. They're still around and still offering a basic   
   editor. On Linux I recommend vim or emacs, the same editors   
   that are best for prose writing, image editing, and for use as a   
   scratch-resistant finish on your car. I hear that you can even   
   write a Tinder profile generator for vim in Lisp. "Enjoy late-night   
   coding of Perl with Pepsi and Doritos. Long walks on the beach..." :)
