    While Adobe is technically still supporting Dreamweaver, new features have not been added since around 2018 or so (and even before that time new features were lackluster to be kind) , and we’ve only seen updates to the core technologies (bootstrap, php) and the odd bug fix --14 or so fixes since  Oct 2021-- 2 or 3 fixes on average per year.

     

    @KirMi Draw your own conclusions. Look elsewhere if you need a code and/or visual web code editor that is actively developed and supported by its community and developers.

    I still use Dreamweaver, albeit alongside other coding tools that are in active development so I can work with modern PHP 8x, Bootstrap 5x and other scripting libraries that DW either doesn’t support or hasn’t kept up with.
