Long Live Dreamweaver

Hey folks!

You can call me nostalgic, or say I don’t really understand web development, and so on… but I simply hope that this app I’ve been using since ‘97 continues to be with us for many more years.

Maybe asking for it to be updated to modern web standards is asking too much, but I truly hope that happens. And if not, at the very least I ask that it is not discontinued.

In the end, there are still a few of us (I don’t know how many 🙂) who still find it very useful for working with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP.

Is anyone else with me? 😎

Anyway, have a good day.

    @Snakes97 , I think many people can relate to that

    For quite a few of us, Dreamweaver has been part of the journey for a long time, so there’s a mix of habit, comfort, and also a way of understanding how things are structured under the hood.

    As ​@Nancy OShea mentioned, it has probably become more of a tool among others rather than a “one does everything” solution. And in a way that’s not necessarily a bad thing, it can still be very useful depending on how we work and what we’re trying to build…
     And who knows... maybe the development team has some surprises in store for us in an upcoming update...

    Anyway, what often matters most is not so much the tool itself, but how it fits into our workflow and how it helps us understand what we’re doing.

    So yes, you’re definitely not alone ;)

    If it does what you need it to do, keep using it.

    I still use DW for site management, alongside other coding tools like Visual Studio Code.

    No single app can do everything well. So use whatever works best.
