Dreamweaver 2017 Update P0S

[CRISTYROAD]

Why on earth is this new update such a piece of crap?

No-one can really offer anything helpful if you don't offer something more precise than "crap".

TBF .. an accurate description, pandering to the whims of Brackets fans and us long-time DW users get screwed over as usual and have spend hours working round the crap and lost features

I've rolled back to CC2015, I work in javascript too much to use 2017 with the html entity rewrite bug.

You can leave 2017 installed if you like, hopefully Adobe adds in the missing functionality sooner rather than later, but under your paid subscription, you have access to every version back to CS6 and can have all 5 installed at the same time if you want. They just won't run at the same time.

Here's how you get a functional version back...

Please post a vote here so we can hopefully get full flexibility back for code colouring, if you're writing JS a lot you need it::

Restore Full Code Colouring Flexibility – Adobe Dreamweaver CC: Feature Ideas

The code colouring apart from being removed from the options because it's a half finished Brackets integration lacks serious flexibility, no language specific option even if you are prepared to edit the LESS theme file directly has been included.

I had an official response from Adobe that language-specific code colouring which is a feature in Brackets, is NOT included in the brackets integration with Dreamweaver.
