I very much resent you guys trying to write the obituary of the WYSIWYG page creation program. And here's my point: I wouldn't bother you folks talking about myself if I imagined I were the only person in the world with needs like mine. I'd replace it in a heartbeat if I had an alternative, but since there isn't it will remain the basic tool of my trade. It' got bugs that Adobe must know all about but has never bothered to fix, it's clumsy and over-complex, and its cost is outrageous. As I say, I use Dreamweaver, because it's the only Apple program on the market since the demise of such rivals as Claris Home Page. My philosophy is to go in and write, or at least manipulate, actual code as little as possible. I operate a Web site which is very heavily text-oriented, and most of the time I use Dreamweaver as a kind of specialized word processor (I wouldn't have to do this if there were any actual word-processor which exported halfway decent text in html format, but I've tried them all and I can guarantee you that there isn't). For others, Dreamweaver isn’t even under their radar at this point, and using it does more harm than good. For them, it’s an ok tool as long as they use it correctly. Adobe is probably bringing this version of Dreamweaver to existing users who are forced to use it in a big corporation or a design studio. Real coders use a serious text editor.ĭreamweaver’s latest set of features are geared toward coders, but they don’t realize that web developers nowadays already use those features through an array of command line tools and a decent code editor, so they will likely yawn. The majority of potential employers will cringe at your tool choice if you use Dreamweaver. But in that case, you are practically using Brackets.app inside Dreamweaver.Īnyone who is serious about web development and wants to get a decent job should skip it and go straight to a more robust code editor such as Atom, Sublime Text, Brackets, BBEdit, and so on. It is an ok tool if you turn off its visual editor and Live Preview and use it strictly as a code editor. Dreamweaver CC 2017 is essentially Brackets.app (Open Source, free and cross-platform) with a lot of unnecessary features, bundled with terrible reputations.
