I've tried this multiple times and following directions on how to get Design view available from all across the internet, but I'm having no luck.

Here's the full details: I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise. I make a new project, Templates > Javascript > Windows > Universal > WinJS App. I've set html files to open with HTML Web Forms Editor by default, I've enabled it in Tools > Options, but still at the bottom of the HTML editor panel, only Sources is available.

I'm coming from VS2013 where I got quite comfortable with using Blend for my HTML windows store projects. I was saddened to find out Blend 2015 doesn't support WinJS projects anymore, but I read that Visual Studio has put a lot of work into HTML/CSS editing within VS itself -- that's great! But I can't access it :(

This isn't a duplicate question of this, as that's for C# and I've tried all of the applicable advice on that question anyway, it hasn't worked. I can open design view in C#, so I think it's a WinJS / HTML problem specifically.

From Blend for Visual Studio 2015, HTML5/JavaScript based app support has been dropped.

That is, you cannot use Blend to design HTML5/JavaScript based UWP App anymore. You can still use DOM Explorer's CSS Editor for live view of your app's design while you're in debugging mode.
