By @Ken Lenz DesignCan someone give me some details as to what is happening with DW and where we are going from here?

Read this:

If Dreamweaver is being discontinued than what other html editors out there are close to it?
===========
Visual Studio Code + Live Preview Extension is probably the closest thing to Dreamweaver from a FREE code editor. See YT video below.
Keep in mind that no code editor will support DW's proprietary features: DW Templates, Library Items, etc... If you don't rely on proprietary features, and are able to work with code, you should have no trouble migrating to any code editor when the time comes.
Hope that helps.
Especially when it saves about 3 weeks of work per month. Just try it. A NodeJS/Express project complete with a database populated with tables and fields. A saving of 120 hours @ $50 = $600 per month!

Obviously the majority of professionals disagree.
120 hours at 50 would be a 6000 per month not 600, that would amount to 12 hours, less than 30 minutes a day.
Obviously the majority of professionals disagree.

Another baseless statement?????

l dont see Wappler listed in the most popular editor usage list do you?
After 5 years if a professional thought it was so great a solution they would be having a piece of it, if according to you there was a huge amount of time and money to be saved.

Why don't you say that this is your opinion instead of stating it as a proven fact?
And please stop upvoting my replies when you do not agree with them.

Because its not my opinion, its a fact taken from an independent survey.
I'm not upvoting anything, you should know by now that there is a robot which is doing that, which has returned to the forum or has never been booted out since it started doing it.
osgood_ thinks your post is awesome and just upvoted it!

Show me the independant survey please.

I'm sure you're more than capable of Googling for web surveys regarding usage of various editors, workflows etc.
By @osgood_
Thank you for your unusual complement!
But it does not answer my question. The independent survey must be in your archive somewhere to allow you to quote it as a fact. Please humour me.

You have had enough humour recently.........take a break. I have faith that anyone who wants to do the research can easily come to their own conclusion about which editors are the most popular for development and which don't get a mention when a survey amongst a wider developer audience is conducted.
The mere fact that you cannot disclose your survey, is enough proof that you are sucking your so called facts, out of your thumb.
By @BenPleysier
If you say so. As l've already said anyone with any common sense would be able to Google the current 2023 survey of web development workflows, which includes editor, ide usage etc, even yourself. I don't need to insult those with enough intelligence how to suck eggs.
Although this doesn't invalidate Wappler's utility and usefulness, of course. Pinegrow isn't mentioned either, btw, nor is Dreamweaver.
By @rayek.elfin
Absolutely correct. The key is who these products are primarily aimed at. Some are aimed at the wider professional coder market, some not so much, which is going to be reflected when it comes to a comprehensive investigation by an established company that is well respected within the professional web-development sector.
I don't know myself of any surveys in the amatuer/entrepreneur sector, which if exists, would likely show a very different picture. My point was IF an application was considered by many developers to be the 'silver bullet' of web-development it would be used by a lot more professionals and subsequently, show up, at least somewhere, in a comprehensive survey. The fact that they don't proves my observation that the majority of professionals are not using them, for whatever reasons.

============
More like $6,000 but I get your point.
I'm not sure how many Dreamweaver users have 1) built dynamic apps or 2) wrapped their head around Node.
Different tools for different tasks.
Another mysterious 'Upvote'........wasn't me, I swear. Haven't Adobe managed to banished this annoying bot yet.

NOPE.
