Coming back to the original question about Dreamweaver. It's a copy-paste from another discussion, but I do hope you understand why.
Like I promised, I checked with the senior management about the future of Dreamweaver, and their answer was that they see no reason to stop developing the product. Dreamweaver will continue to exist, period.
I understand that no amount of reassurance will suffice, but I do want to put other Dreamweaver users visiting this post at ease.
I am marking my answer as corre

Good coders are often not good designers. Compare it to automobile design. A vehicle can be engineered to perfection, but if the visual design of the exterior and interior is not up to the same standards, then the car WILL NOT SELL. I think this is why our products still sell well after 20 years and numerous put-downs by coders who are not also designers.
Just my opinion... although we do have some anecdotal to back it up... at least where we are happy 
Makes perfect sense to me. Perhaps it's your post that is kind of vague 
The web is mature enough where making a web page should be possible without coding. Knowing code will always be an advantage, but it should not be mandatory. The frameworks are killing the web, not helping it. What we need are application developers (hell, Adobe DW Team) and plug-in developers (Hello, Project Seven) to take charge of giving people visual solutions that use efficient and proper code. Then designers and those folks obsessed with the idea that only coders should be allowed to make web pages without getting shamed can duke it out in a more fun environment
Well you would say that, its a no brainer, you stand to make money out of anyone who can't code, why would you think any differently. lts the neither or neithers that are killing the industry and its your kind of company along with stuff like Bootstrap that are attracting them 
As to my post, I was merely wondering if the big problem for Muse users not finding alternative programs, was more of a UI issue. Simply because having looked at coding alternatives, (VS Pro is overkill for simple projects, and Dw is just no longer in the running, (CC versions)) I found that the UI is as much a deciding factor as everything else combined.
I guess there's a point in there, somewhere . But I think I made a few good ones, myself. The fact of the matter to me is that this is a Dreamweaver forum, populated by posts from people using what was once the most popular visual web design tool on the planet. While it now does okay for the occasional coder, the more typical user needs help, and wants help, an continually is shamed or insulted, along with makers of extensions... by a small handful of people who seem to thrive on such behavior for whatever reason. It's confounding, sometimes.
I don't think either one of our behaviors is bad. We just have different points of view. I try to make my behavior more compatible with what I consider the more typical Dreamweaver user to want, while I guess you do, too . But what I won't do is engage in a debate that neither one of us can ever hope to win, and which is not really going to help anyone who might be scanning this forum for help. It would be nice if Adobe continued Dreamweaver just for me, but perhaps they will remove every single visual aid and ban extensions, just for a few people whom I shall not name . But I did stop to re-read my posts an I'm pretty certain my differences with you have not allowed me to devolve into personal attacks at the level they have been wielded at me. And to WJT, put your popcorn away .
I'm a classics type of guy. Most of what's called entertainment today is either infantile, exploitive, or mean-spirited -- including this forum, sometimes . Besides, I'm a lot better at the sort of thing you are looking for when I'm live and in person. And in your face. Weeds out the lesser bullies, you know?

Internet courage and keyboard cowboys - across social media, forums, blogs, comment sections, emails, texts, etc., are certainly eroding society and the internet far more so and at a faster rate than any WYSIWYG web editors. The disconnect and misinterpretation even without malice being present causes all types of problems and responses which cause further issues.
Sadly we are all guilty of it. 
Einstein may have said it best ( Even if he never said it at all ).
But thats a whole other story to get into, with 24 hour new cycles, instant access to everything, the list is so pervasive, its just all part of our daily lives. It takes more effort to rise above and forge a way without all of it than to just be apart of it. Perhaps thats the intention, much like fast food, look what that did to society.
Easy is not always better.
