Please help, Why is Dreamweaver the slowest application ever made.

I realize that claim is rather lofty, but after getting behind on project after project, and used alternatives, I just keep trying dreamweaver time and time again, and It is seriously as if the application is 32bit, and it stalls unresponsive for up to 11 minutes trying to change script to /script up the smallest gesture. You can forget any design view or to even accidentally hit the design view button I have to turn to force quit and possible loss of my work.

I have read about other people saying this program is slow and it looks like there is no remedy. If there is I haven't read of one that has worked for me. I have a 4k iMac with 16gb ram and I use my apps on the ssd, and load all project on external drive usually. But I have tried this with and without drives plugged in, with the internet off.  It is the program. The one time it almost seemed like it was working was when I made another user and began using the application under the new user I created, but within 15 minutes it was the same, so maybe it was a fluke that it seemed to be working at a normal pace.

I would love help on this, cause I use to love dreamweaver and now I am just in search of anything, and have been using espresso instead.

Thanks

Alan
