Nobody uses it to build anything professional, it's a cute toy

I would hope nobody is using it for anything professional now but it was definitely used back in the day, my first professional development job was for a small agency which used Dreamweaver for everything. I'm not saying that was a good thing, it generated some of the worst code I've ever seen, but it was used.

I do!!!!!! I love dreamwaver even today, I'm surprised people don't use it, they have done an amazing job keeping it up to date - it's honestly a joy to use. Granted: I'm not a real dev/swe, just a dude who likes to mess around with webtech, still, I think "real devs" would enjoy it too, it's great to use.

I learn web on dreamweaver, I would make something on the front end WYSIWYG editor, and then "turn it around" (I called it in my head) and look at the "back of it" (I was a kid) - anyway, tables and frames and dhtml baby!!!!

I think the emerging meta seems to be using LLMs that will create HTML components for you from your Figma storyboards.

And also to let another LLM create your Figma storyboards from your novel design ideas.

And asking a third LLM to give you some novel design ideas.

Yep this does seem to be the emerging meta.

Have you found success with some models over others?
