    It's a code editor like Dreamweaver, with visual preview, but it's much more like CodePen.

    Not able to edit visually - just text editor with preview - coding playground. It's nice but is not an alternative to Dreamweaver. More like CodePen.io

    One of the few viable free alternatives to Dreamweaver. Obviously a lot less feature rich, but perhaps the most similar alternative I’ve seen in terms of its most basic functions.
