hello Al, I can't say that I know the DW usertype, and worth, I just see the profile here, only in France... so it is not very representative, but... after all these years spent accompanying companies in their migration, taking charge of their websites and their reflections on the development of their 'applications', or initiating most academics (level baccalaureat, level 3 and license) ... those who use the most DW are as you have noticed the non-coders (but not only... see below) ... much people are moving to other tools available out there... when we talk about buying extensions to brings solutions... often, the reaction is almost immediately to think about platforms like WP ... and thus DW does not serve any more, what sometimes happens, is that the extensions do not systematically meet the needs sought ... (ie non-reducing, searching in a database and sending cross-references, personify the user account, having specific master/details combination... and so on) ... so again this does not fundamentally meet the initial needs. all this to say that developing a basic site with basic needs by using DW can get very expensive in extensions to add to the initial price of DW, or to ask for skills in the languages and technologies used, and there I join the points raised by Paula on the integration and taking into account at the base of a robust HTML, the fringe of CSS and APIs (not forgetting the possibility of boosting the rendering engine itself and not having to wait for the bets official update). perhaps my frenglish drives confusions in my words, so please don't hesitate to arise it, I will try to precise my thoughts
