    In general, this update is not to my liking, there are several issues that make using the 2017 version counter productive.

    I like where Adobe is trying to go with it, but it's buggy, here's an example I'm creating html emails, so I work 50/50 design view and code view.

    What I've always liked about DW is that you can click on any part of the design and it will point to the section in code, what I'm fining is that when undertaking the same steps, the cod is highlighted but it's highlighted but the code isn't pull up along side the section in design like DW 2015 does, I've got issues with the preview in browser.

    There are other issues which aren't bugs but it bugs me in the way it performs, total brain fart syndrome at Adobe Towers.

    In the end I fixed all those issues, I simply uninstalled and reinstalled the 2015 version, simple!

    If you're interrested in getting full code colouring flexibity back, please post a vote here:

    Restore Full Code Colouring Flexibility – Adobe Dreamweaver CC: Feature Ideas

    The code colouring apart from being removed from the options because it's a half finished Brackets integration lacks serious flexibility, no language specific option even if you are prepared to edit the LESS theme file directly has been included.

    I had an official response from Adobe that language-specific code colouring which is a feature in Brackets, is NOT included in the brackets integration with Dreamweaver.

    If you preview in a browser, it updates automatically. I used it the other day, was quite nice.

    I can't copy & paste without it selecting everything. For instance, if I just want to copy the class of a div, and I only have that class text selected, it copies the whole div & pastes it.

    Every time I go to the color browser and click on a color, the color picker closes.

    Every time the css selector menu opens and I hit enter, it doesn't do anything, the menu just closes.

    All of these issues are making things difficult for me.

    Seems preview in a browser does not work with "Links relative to: Site Root" on "Site Setup"
