Is Adobe Dumping Web Browser development altogether, or is there something new on the horizon?

Having followed the EOL of Adobe Muse a couple of years ago and now the EOL for Adobe XD and Portfolio, the only product left in the stable is Adobe DreamWeaver.

Is there going to be a product that fits somewhere below DreamWeaver to fill the gap?

Cheers.

I wouldn't really consider Xd as part of the web dev market. But there's a lot of competition in the field. Electron and browser based tools are currently dominating (VSCode, and Figma), as opposed to the harder to develop native apps. Adobe was hoping to get a shortcut in on the action with Figma, which failed. Express is the closest thing, but it's quite simplistic. Express and AI seem to be the current focus. I personally don't see them trying a new fully fledged web design / development tool after failing to meaningfully enter the web dev market so many times.

Thanks for the information.  I still have a working copy of Muse which I can download from Abobe, even though they have pulled all their instructional materials. I will persist with using it because I can make a half decent web page without knowing a thing about HTML.  When it disappears and dies on my computers, I'll try to learn HTML or hopefully by that stage be able to hire someone who does.  Cheers.

Adobe tried several attempts to become a true player in the web, but various misteps and general lack of trust by the community left those efforts dead. At this point, Adobe had effective thrown in the towel.

Thanks for your comments.  Having run a computer software company for 25 years I can sympathise with Adobe sometimes not hitting a target market with their products.  It's a cuttroat business out there.
