A visual editor that surpasses all others! It is a mystery how the Linux community (which created excellent alternatives to Windows-based software, such as LibreOffice and Gimp) never completed the project of a Dreamweaver alternative.

Buggy interface. Times out when uploading constantly. (and takes 2 minutes to cancel the upload)

Doesn't parse PHP right and leaves a lot of syntax colouring incorrect.

Useless for PHP. Dreamweaver was great 10 years ago when HTML sufficed and we all used WYSIWYG editors.

I recommend Aptana if you like to have your work uploaded quickly and effortlessly.

After more than 20 years working on web sites I still can't find anything better than Dreamweaver. The only drawback is the very moment Macromedia sold Dreamweaver to Adobe. But even so, and the horrendous Creative Cloud and price, they slowly updates the application.

The best visual editor ever made! I can't understand why the Linux community (which developed great alternatives to Windows-based software, such as the LibreOffice and the Gimp) never finished the project of a Dreamweaver alternative. Both NVU and Kompozer were discountinued before became great softwares! :-(

Dreamweaver is a software for designing web pages and creating HTML templates or programming. The software works with the WYSIWYG (What you see is what you see) logic, which helps to create websites through the software interface.

there is nothing even remotely close in OS/X to dreamweaver. **WYSIWYG? **Nothing, free or paid. And really... this has always been dreamweavers bread and butter. At least in windows, you had some options. Mac? None. BlueGriffen and a couple of others try this... but fail miserably, missing such essentials as font selection, tables, html5, etc, etc...

Live Preview Taco HTML Edit (just discontinued) did have live preview that worked amazingly, even including HTML5 and CSS3, javascript and server code (so it actually beat anything on ANY platform in that regard and was amazing for CSS prototyping because you would instantly see change), but it is no longer sold and is no longer going to be updated.

I could go on with a ton of other features... some code editors have some of them, no code editor has ALL of them and WYSIWYG. So I will just list some of them to hopefully cutdown on what about "joe blow editor" ... it doesn't have WYSIWYG but stuff every article that EVER stated this gets.

  • tag closing
  • code folding
  • highlighting
  • php/asp/cfm (who the hell uses coldFusion anymore?) support
  • complete html5 support
  • complete css3 support
  • javascript support
  • bootstrap2,3,4 support even in design mode.
  • Image map support
  • wizzards for forms, tables, frames, etc, etc
  • ftp support
  • webDav support
  • revisioning support from CVS and other popular versioning systems
  • extensible, so thousands of addons exist for it
  • collaborative editing with change tracking
  • web application support

I wish there was ANYTHING that did half of this, I fricking HATE adobe. But if you are a web developer, it's the tool you hate that you have to have.

What is Adobe Dreamweaver?

Adobe Dreamweaver is a web design IDE used for website development. It features a code editor that supports syntax highlighting, code completion, real-time syntax checking, and code introspection. Unlike other HTML editors, Dreamweaver edits files locally before uploading them to the web server via FTP, SFTP, or WebDAV. It is available as a standalone subscription or part of the Creative Cloud All Apps package. Basic understanding of the web's infrastructure is required, but it allows for more optimized code, resulting in faster websites. The interface is user-friendly, with accessible tools and customizable menus. The central interface displays the user's project, which can be viewed as raw code, a rendered page preview, or both. Code hints offer options to complete commands quickly and reduce typos. Despite no major changes recently, Dreamweaver remains a significant tool in web design.
