"Customizable Platform Development Application"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

Adobe continues to improve the user interface, integrations capabilities, and most importantly, the ability for users to manage multiple websites and credentials with ease. The user interface has multiple themes to choose from. The dark theme is now my standard as it is easier on the eyes than the solid white background. Adobe continues to update and improve.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

Does not include versioning and syntax helpers are often cause of more issues than fixes. Adobe continues to push this product, but some features that are removed are often used by many.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quicker posting of protected sites, drag drop feature for clients is a must, and integration with platforms that clients host with is integral.

"Adobe Dreamweaver has been a dream for someone new to coding, like myself."
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

I really love that Adobe Dreamweaver allows you to visually see how the code you're entering will look. It also has a feature which shows you where you might have typed an error in your code, which is very helpful for anyone new to the world of website coding like me. It's been the perfect application to use

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

There honestly isn't anything that I dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver so far. However, I'm not an advanced coder and this is not something that I provide a service for within my business. I've been using it to code my business website and it's been extremely helpful for me so far.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

Currently, I'm utilizing Adobe Dreamweaver because the website template that I'm using through Squarespace, although helpful and beautiful, doesn't offer all of the customization that I'd like it to. This is why I took online coding courses the past few months and Adobe Dreamweaver has been a great resource in helping to make the process of building my website from scratch as easy and painless as it can be for a first time coder.

"Dreamweaver"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

What I like the best is that when designing websites you get an all in one application where you can manage your sites from the front and back end and from the local and server side. They recently started supporting Github and that is a plus as we have a code bank that we use to store code. The application has support for most of the most used web developing languages as PHP, HTML, CSS, Java, jQuery and several others.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

I used to dislike how slow this app made my computer very slow. However, recent updates they have done to Dreamweaver they have made it very speedy and they added GitHub support with is terriffic. With this said, I do not think there is anything we don't like about Dreamweaver. Probably a few companies can't afford the cost as we know it is a little on the expensive side.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

As mentioned, in a business environment productivity in time is money. This application is an all in one where you have a web developing interface, FTP and full management of server and local files. You make new document and the newest document syncs with the server automatically.

"Great for Design and Coding"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

Split design/code display, autocomplete code, colored text to help find bugs or incomplete strings

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

File management could be easier - I still use Fetch for a lot of file management and uploads

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use DW for almost all of my coding (mostly HTML and CSS, with some PHP), from adapting WP templates, to hand-coding simple sites, pages, and email blasts. I love having side-by-side design/code display, as well as autocomplete to close tags and predictive text to add styling and anticipated code snippets. It's quick, clean, and highly effective. I also love the text color adjustments to help spot bugs or missing tags quickly.

"Dream weaver makes it easy for anyone to code like a pro!"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

I love the way that it finished your HTML tags for you. I'm the kind of person who would lose their head if it wasn't attached, so you can imagine what my HTML would look like if dream weaver didn't close the tags for me.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

The layout can be confusing when working between CSS and HTML pages. I don't like it when I want to format something through CSS and it accidentally adds to the HTML. Probably user error though.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it to make web pages for my schooling.

"My Experience with Adobe Dreamweaver"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

I appreciate that the user interface is very similar across all adobe products. I like to code completion, it makes coding faster and more efficient. I like that it points out code errors and I also really like the live view. The builtin templates are also a nice starting point for projects

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

Honestly, I'm not sure there is anything about Dreamweaver I dislike. I've used it for many years and always been happy with it. I've tried other HTML editors but always prefer Dreamweaver the best.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've used Dreamweaver for coding web pages and I've also used it for layout/design of HTML formatted emails. Builtin templates shorten development time, thats definitely a benefit.

"Great web development tool"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

I like the simplicity and easiness of the tool. Dreamweaver is very simple to use, as it indicates necessary tools very simply, and easy to navigate. Having small bugs and lags are always a plus, because with bugs and lags, it's very hard to concentrate in your work. Also, "working perfectly" is always a hard thing: while other free software fail to deliver perfectness, Dreamweaver delivers perfect responsiveness.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

One dislike, if any, is the price point. I purchased Adobe Cloud with a special college student discount, but it is still a high price point. However, I have to say, that paid software are paid for a reason. If you compare this product with other free software, you will know the difference, as bugs and lags aren't as present as other free software, and it has many useful functionalities, along with easy navigation.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work on Dreamweaver as a web developer. Easiness to use gives me more time to work on projects, as it takes lesser time to navigate through options. Having a software that gives you peace in mind and improves your work speed is always welcome to use.

What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

The ease of use and the ready made templates makes Dreamweaver a must have tool for anyone who needs to edit or create websites. I have used dreamweaver for many years and have tried many other products over the years but I always return to dreamweaver because of the simpicity and ease of use.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

nothing to complain about at with this product. The user interface is user friendly so no need to complain at all

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Dreamwaever on a daily basis for managing several client websites and the ability to link sites to dreamweaver and to ftp clients reduces work and saves time.

"Dreamweaver just the best editor I have used"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

Dreamweaver is the best and easiest way to edit web related content, both for PC and MAC. Panels and interactions are everywhere and they just pop up when you need them the most

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

Probably the part that I don't like the most is the lots of subwindow panels that you can find on the screen.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dreamweaver helps us out to manage in a more friendly way our multiple web sites, help achieve a faster result with a lot less effort. My design crew is happy and that is something good because they perform better.

"Great text editor with lots of features"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

I like that this program has a lot of features as well customizing for making working with code easy. You can connect directly connect to a server using the integrated FTP system they provide. The WYSIWYG is pretty simple to use and makes finding elements in the code somewhat easy. You can change the background color as well of the editor to your liking so you can find code elements easier as well change the color of your text. It has a variety of short keys to find the code in lines as well an easy to use search & replace tool that allows you to change multiple sections of code with different code with a click of the button. Definitely a time saver.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

It does have a decent price tag associated with it due to it being an Adobe product. Other than that its a great text editor to use.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to code custom websites for our clients in a timely manner well being organized in our coding structure. It is helping us stay within the WC3 standards as well coding layout that makes editing and reading code very easy. We are spending less time creating websites with this tool which is allow us to focus on new projects faster and giving our clients a faster turn around time.

"Great program"
What do you like best about Adobe Dreamweaver?

Ease of use. I was not technically trained in coding, but this program has helped me navigate my way. I learned the basics from various websites, then Dreamweaver helped me to become much more capable in not just web development but beautiful web design as well. Additionally, if you are familiar with the rest of the software in the Adobe suite, it is incredibly easy and intuitive to understand Dreamweaver.

What do you dislike about Adobe Dreamweaver?

I think my only complaint (and not to the fault of the program) is that there is so much within the world of coding it is often very overwhelming. Dreamweaver provides little popups as you are typing to help add lines of code here and there when it feels it can predict it, but sometimes it provides the wrong piece or too many options and I am left with a broken line somewhere but am totally unsure as to where or why it is.

What problems is Adobe Dreamweaver solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a graphic designer but recently I have been using Dreamweaver to code out email templates for my team. This has been much more beneficial to us than pre-made templates because coding out and the software's ease of use has let us keep to our branding, while still giving us the flexibility to design and add whatever we please.
