what will become of Dreamweaver if Brackets lower the curtain?

thank you all for your answers, and for your participation in this thread.
In fact I was throwing a bottle, here on this forum but also on the alpha, to see if someone from Adobe would come and bring an explanation, an information.
Nothing, and that's distressing, even to the limit of disrespect.
In any case, thank you for coming to bring your vision.

Dreamweaver is done IMO .... They wasted all that development time too integrating Brackets ionto Dreamweaver and making a mess of it too....

What will become of Dreamweaver if Brackets lowers the curtain?

==========

@B i r n o u,

Do you want the red pill or the blue pill?

I liked Brackets a lot until Adobe let it languish.  And later when Brackets was integrated into DW and we began to see Code Mirror's limitations at formatting code properly, something had to give. So this move doesn't surprise me at all.  When Business Catalyst, Experience Manager, XD and Extend Script told customers to use an outside code editor (VS Code) instead of Adobe's own Brackets or Dreamweaver, the message was clear.  Adobe had lost faith in their own code editing tools.  Now that Brackets is axed, maybe Dreamweaver will last long enough to reach its 25th anniversary next year.  Or maybe that's just the "blue pill" talking.  🙂

Hi @B i r n o u ,

I have seen this coming for quite some time, a future version of Dreamweaver, will roll out with the Monaco Editor .

This does not herald the end of Dreamweaver (yet).

The fact that they tell users to move to a competitor's free app, with absolutely no mention of DW, says volumes.

I'm not going to stand on the corner with a "The End is Nigh" sandwich board for DW or anything, but...

Thats madness Brackets had the potential to become a great editor but once again Adobes lack of commitment to producing a competitive web development tool and poor decision making held it back. 

Maybe once its open sourced someone will pick up the baton, give it a shiny new interface and tweak it about a bit, especially get rid of the Adobe propriotary code crap in live view (no serious developer wants to see or use that rubbish).

In some respects its a much better editor than Dreamweaver for those that can code without the aid of 2 crutches. I would have paid a fee for it if it had evolved but nothing has been seriously updated in years, a familiar story when Adobe and web development tools are involved.
