But if you have any pull, you should pass the note along to the Dreamweaver team and have them fix the bugs. It's not a question of "pull". Adobe (or any other software company) decides what to fix, improve, or drop on a cost/benefit basis. Fixing an ASP feature might be relatively simple, but doing so means that something else gets ignored. The ASP feature might be very crucial to you, but if Adobe considers it a low priority in terms of affecting overall sales, it's unlikely to get fixed. Whether that's the right business decision is not for me to say. I have submitted a large number of bug reports and feature requests over the years. Some are acted upon, others aren't. So far, I have accepted that the new features are, on balance, worth more than the features that haven't been fixed or implemented. Each user has to make the same decision. If people stop buying Dreamweaver because they think Adobe has made the wrong choices, either Dreamweaver will decline or Adobe will change its policies. I have seen new tools, such as Zend Studio, offered by other companies that do PHP things far better than Dreamweaver. I use Zend Studio, and like it a lot; but as an overall web development tool, Dreamweaver still beats it hands down. But neither Dreamweaver nor Adobe can rest on their laurels. That's why I encourage people to make use of the feature request/bug report form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform to tell Adobe what's important to them. There's no guarantee that your ideas will be adopted, but it's the only sure way to get ideas directly to the people who have the power to implement them.
