Hello Everyone,

Hope you're doing well 🙂

We would like to inform you that "Extract Panel will be unavailable in Dreamweaver from July 01, 2022"

Beginning July 01, 2022, feature workflows in the Extract panel will be unavailable in Dreamweaver. We advise that you use Photoshop instead to extract style information and assets for PSD components for use in Dreamweaver.

Thanks,

Harshika

Should I migrate from Dreamweaver to VS Code or Figma?

I understand that Dreamweaver is in maintenance mode, but Adobe has acquired Figma, and its direct competitor XD is also in maintenance mode. It's strange that there was no announcement of Figma in MAX2023, but will there be an announcement of a transition from Dreamweaver or XD to Figma in the future?

I feel like I should move to VS Code, but I'd like to see Dreamweaver templates, libraries, and check-in/out functionality in VS Code extensions. I can't migrate because I don't have anything to replace it.

When Adobe deleted the server behaviours panels and made it difficult for extensions to be included by scrapping the extension manager, I saw the the end of Dreamweaver coming back in 2012.

Fortunately, DMXzone - an extension supplier - saw that their business was under fire if they relied on Adobe for their future. DMXzone then decided to create a Dreamweaver like application which they called Wappler. The extensions that they produced for Dreamweaver, became available as free addons for Wappler.

Fastforward to today, I use Wappler for my web development. The devopment time has been reduced by at least 75% due to the low code editor, making the investment more than pay for itself.

Wappler shares the same Monaco editor that VS Code uses. IMHO, if you do not want to fork out the money for Wappler, VS Code is the go.

Forget templates and libraries, these are Adobe creations and will not work outside of Dreamweaver.

As a side note, I develop my websites using NodeJS as the serverside model. NodeJS/Express has a unique layout/template page that is far superior to the Dreamweaver templates.

Have a look at the video series that I am currently working on:

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

This Dreamweaver Extract Panel has been a great help to me in teaching coding to my students, and in providing them with the essentials they need to know to code in the web. I would appreciate it if you could let me know if this is just a temporary removal of the Extract panel, Thank you.

Well, it's true that extract panel could be really useful to be used directly within Dw... however, at the time and before Extract Panel, Matt had already proposed magical extensions for both Dw and Fw . And they are still doing the job.

If you feel like it, here's some old reading, but ...;) :

Just wonder what the point is in doing anything in Dreamweaver. It hasn't been updated for a long while, slowly but steadily more options are removed from the app. I reckon ADOBE without telling anybody will gradually phase out this app. I have stopped using it for a year now and switched to WordPress, Elementor, or another relevant apps.

WordPress is bad. . It's difficult to navigate, find stuff, and is a bad website creator.

Adobe has become the most uninspirational company ever. Terrible.

I teach a web design course, and my students must obtain certifiation in Dreamweaver. Unfotunately, all of the study material, including that produced by Adobe, include the use of the "extract" panel. Also, my students do not have access to use Photoshop, and do not have any experience doing so. Has the certification test been adjusted to reflect this change?

A waste of time. Dreamweaver will not be around for much longer.

Teach web design using VSCode or the Dreamweaver replacement, Wappler

That may be true, but the state I teach in takes a long time to approve new credentials so for now we have to certify in the ones that are approved to meet graduation requirements.

Hi Fellows

I agree with you all. I have been using Dreamweaver for more than 10 years and I have a strong feeling that this App is on its way out. Various futures keep disappearing and nothing new is replaced etc. I am surprised that they still selling books about learning Dreamweaver while options in the App are being removed etc. Dreamweaver is already far behind many other tools that you can use to design and create modern websites in no time like WordPress, Webflow etc. I am as well very surprised by the way Adobe Doesn't modernise this great tool... Time to move somewhere else.

Thanks for the info. Do I understand it correctly that Dreamweaver will be phased out and discontinued over the next couple of months if so is Adobe planning to replace the Dreamweaver with something else ? Thank you

They have not made any announcments about that. They just not continuing to produce feature updates to it. There are also no plans or announcements to replace it.

Adobe and web is not really something that is in sync, it is an area they do not properly understand so I would look at the wealth of other modern options.
