Has Dreamweaver been abandoned?

Good morning everyone,

I would like to know if Dreamwewaver will be abandoned.

For example, I have many problems with Imac 27 Intel i7 with 32GB RAM, Dreamwewaver is very heavy and slow.
Also, during my work, huge warning windows for Bootstrap 4 pop up all the time. Apart from the fact that I use Tailwind or Bulma, I want to point out that Bootstrap 6 will be available soon.
However, isn't there a way to disable these huge, ugly and useless windows from opening?

 

On a Macbook Air M2, it crashed my Macbook completely during installation, so I had to force disable Dreamweaver.
Uninstalled everything and reinstalled, same problem.

 

Thanks for any ideas

    Dreamweaver has already been abandoned apart from OS and bug fixes. Don't expect anything radical to change going forward.  I fully expect an announcement at some point that its reached end of life. In terms of where the web is at today it already has reached that point in my opinion. It was good while it lasted, l used it myself for many a year, but the competition has increased over the years and Adobe aren't going to waste resources in an area where there is limited financial return.

     

    Dreamweaver is still a pretty good web editor but how long can something exist with no major improvements to assist users in building modern web applications. At some point, personally if l want to progress, l need to start looking at alternatives.

    What warning windows?  Show us a screenshot and translate the warning/error message into English, please.

    ==========

    I'm not using Bootstrap 6 in production yet.  Still using latest Bootstrap 5, resourced directly from the official Bootstrap CDN.

    https://www.bootstrapcdn.com/

     

    Minified CSS & JS Bundle:

    <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0-alpha1/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-GLhlTQ8iRABdZLl6O3oVMWSktQOp6b7In1Zl3/Jr59b6EGGoI1aFkw7cmDA6j6gD" crossorigin="anonymous">

    Use whichever release version you need for your project.  Consult online documentation on how to use it.  Many class names were removed/changed in Bootstrap 5.

    Ensure your CPU and GPU meet current system requirements. A bad graphics set-up will almost guarantee performance problems especially in graphics intensive apps like Photoshop, Premier Pro and After Effects.  M1 & M2 chips are compatible with current Adobe apps (2022 and higher). Most current Creative Cloud apps work on:

    • Windows 11 (64-bit), Windows 10 versions 22H2, 21H2, 21H1;
    • MacOS 13 (Ventura), 12 (Monterey), macOS 11 (Big Sur).

    Dreamweaver 2021 is minimally maintained now but performs well on MacOS Big Sur (11) and Catalina (10.15 and 10.14).

    Crashes are abnormal. Technical support will need to view your crash logs to determine what is causing it.  That said, Dreamweaver performs best when installed on an internal primary hard drive that has full read/write permissions and your defined local site folder resides on the same primary hard drive.

     

    If you continue to have technical issues, please reach out to Adobe support.

      Thank you for your opinion, I think I will soon find an alternative to Adobe, since this afternoon I wanted to install Photoshop and Illustrator, on Apple silicon, it's a sci-fi fairytale situation. I have seen a huge number of active processes with an abnormal consumption of resources, but that's not all, during the installation I was offered to install yet another program to be able to check if the version is regular or cracked.
      I wonder, but who is that idiot who downloads cracked software and then installs software to get caught?.
      But even from Adobe's side, who is that Nobel Prize winner for imbecility who thought of installing another program like this?
      But how much RAM and how many CPUs should I have? For Photohsop that on Intel it is a continuous block and on Apple silicon has several bugs.

      Adobe, with all due respect, you should be ashamed.
