The last version of Dreamweaver (2017) is the worst of ever and change a lot of things respect to the last stable version (2015 or even better... CS6).

I think it's time to close Dreamweaver project and rename the 2017 version with the its correct name:

"Muse Editor"

Maybe you could alert old customers with this message:

"End of an Era

The legendary Dreamweaver is no more...

Adobe shut down the software and replace it with Muse Editor"

In this way should be more easy understand the limitations and the bugs with 2017 version development.

Maybe 'Brackets Pro' would be better?

Although there is a lot wrong with Dw now, I have to admit that a lot of users do like it. I must be one of the very few people though who actually liked the new 'find and replace', and disagree with the notion that too many features have been removed, for me the properties and css designer panels could also go.

Make Dw the best code editor possible, with full support for browser vendor implemented and w3c specs, add essentials like a stand alone autoprefixer extension and some way to control the UI color and contrast, get rid of the beginner features, add usable and sensible helpers, and replace the css designer with an updated version of the css styles panel. Move Bootstrap, pre/post-processor and git support to extensions, drop dwt and email creation support, and get rid off all those useless languages now supported in the code editor.

Lets also not forget that it should support modern workflows, this documents only on the same drive policy makes it unusable for many, and proper support for projects, just calling something a project, does NOT make it a project.

Then i would be almost happy. As for renaming, Muse is for none coders so that name would not be indicative of its purpose.

Assuming that Brackets Pro as a joke, I certainly agree with the rest.

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

You know me Ben, if something makes me laugh, even a thought, it's worth while sharing it
