Is Dreamweaver going away? If so what is a close second WYSIWYG html editor?

Lately I have been testing Lowcoder running inside Docker as a fast WYSIWYG 'ish tool to create quick small applications. It's fun.

But perhaps not the simplest to set up and run. But hey: it's open source and free.

Can someone give me some details as to what is happening with DW and where we are going from here?

If Dreamweaver is being discontinued than what other html editors out there are close to it?

===========

Visual Studio Code + Live Preview Extension is probably the closest thing to Dreamweaver from a FREE code editor.  See YT video below.

Keep in mind that no code editor will support DW's proprietary features:  DW Templates, Library Items, etc...  If you don't rely on proprietary features, and are able to work with code, you should have no trouble migrating to any code editor when the time comes.

Hope that helps.

Alternatively to what is already mentioned, there is also a portion of the WYSIWYG market that has shifted to hosted solutions like Wix/Webflow/etc. So it really depends on how much code you are looking to still be able to control and what you are looking to support.

It's not being discontinued as yet but its not getting anymore updates, other than OS, bug fixes, so in effect you could be falling behind if you rely on it, without coding, to produce your work. For instance if you use Bootstrap then the default version in the current Dreamweaver is 4 whereas the current version of Bootstrap is 5. As far as anyone knows there are no plans to include v5 in Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver will continue to fall behind as newer workflows are introduced. Who knows when Adobe will officially declare its at the end of its life. For now if you can code it still remains a viable option as a code editor, however if you dont code it might be advisable to start looking around at other options available which are still  being actively developed.

2 similar options, which offer a visual interface, are:

Pinegrow

Wappler

There's many desktop code editors:

VS Code

Web Storm

Sublime Text

Php Storm

Codelobster

Nova (Mac only)
