Well I have a favorable impression of them, but then again I work for WebAssist. You also might ask your question in the WebAssist forums to see what our customers feel about particular extensions:

I take part in a pre-release program and I warned Ray (Webassist) and Teodor (DMXzone) of the pending problems despite my NDA.

Reaction from Ray: I'll wait until the release of the version

Reaction from Teodor: Active participation in the program

Result from Ray: Pandemonium

Result from Teodor: Created their own Dreamweaver interfaces

Now it is not my intention to put Ray down, he has always been very helpful and prompt with his assistance. But reality is that the SB panels were very outdated, originating from the Macromedia era nearly 20 years ago. I am also extremely sorry to have had to leave the fold. I always found the no-nonsense extensions to be very helpful in my workflow

I have been following those posts you mentioned, which started way before the release of Dreamweaver CC2017.5. See Compatibility with DW CC 2017 | Community forum | WebAssist which started 18 months ago

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

well, first, it will probably depend on which of their extensions you're
talking about :)

Overall, I find their products very good (I've used Data Assist, Security
Assist, iRite, Digital File Pro) and they can certainly be quite the time
saver. However, I do find their current level of documentation lacking (as
compared to companies like Project Seven), basically just some "recipes" on
their site in video format. While I like a video tutorial now and then, I'd
just as soon have the same info in a PDF I can print out and mark up - they
do seem to be going more in this direction, too, so another plus for them is
that they do listen to their customers. Many of their products also presume
that you have a working knowledge of various scripting languages and
database creation/manipulation. This is not a bad thing at all, but does
trip up some customers who are not expecting to do anything but push a
button or two.

Their support forums in the past have been somewhat lacking in response from
people w/in the company (again as compared to Project Seven), *but* this has
improved markedly within the past 6 months. On one hand I don't like that
the answer to many of the problems posted on their newsgroups is "submit a
trouble ticket" instead answering things in the forums... HOWEVER, when I
have submitted trouble tickets, their help staff has always been good and
the tech was always knowledgeable.

So, I'd say, yeah, they have good products. I definitely use their products
a lot and would buy other products I find useful from them.
