    WebStorm is the best alternative to Dreamweaver along with PhpStorm for PHP projects. It's IDE helping developer to work faster and easier.

    Webstorm has only a code editor and real time preview, but no WYSIWYG editor like Adobe Dreamweaver. While typing you always need to deal with code specific syntax.
