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…
Around the same time, I was using Coda actually! https://web.archive.org/web/20101007013748/http://panic.com/... I had only used dreamweaver a small amount at highschool, but the imac we had at home had a Coda license on it. While I don't think I could comfortably use Dreamweaver to make something today, Coda is possibly usable. Coda 2 since came out which I never tried, and now it's a new editor called Nova, which I…
I keep going back to Nova to see if it will recapture that magic, but it just can't compete with vscode these days
I was using DreamWeaver in maybe 2006-2007. I hadn’t thought about it in a long while. Back then we were CRUD web apps with a FileMaker backend and there was an integration where you could drag database fields straight out of FMP7 into DreamWeaver and it would automatically create the correct PHP (also 6 or 7 back then) code for your form. I coded up a simple CRUD in Streamlit yesterday (needed a simple way for my Fi…
Tools like FileMaker, Dreamweaver and others empowered regular people to do "personal computing" and allowed them to help themselves build the tools they needed. It seems to me like that was a golden age of genuine personal computing that went by too fast and with many avenues left unexplored.
People keep telling me to use Dreamweaver but I stick with what works: FrontPage 98
I was a kid the last time I touched front page. Why did my simple site need front page extensions on the server? It was basically a static site. Finding a free web host with those extensions was near impossible.
Frontpage could do FTP under ideal conditions.

Once upon a time I made a cgi version of the fpse protocol because Windows was so expensive to run, so it's a shame you didn't find it. The internet was smaller back then, but maybe not as small as I remember.
I implemented a few "webbot"s as cgi scripts instead of activex controls (like counter and search and even the 'Visual InterDev Navigation Bar' if you remember that). Dreamweaver never had anything like that - and cold fusion really was a bit further than most of my customers could handle on their own.
FrontPage Configuration Information
In the HTML comments, this page contains configuration information
that the FrontPage Explorer and FrontPage Editor need to communicate with
the FrontPage server extentions installed on this web server. In short,
do not delete this page.
I can’t imagine anyone is still using Dreamweaver—that market must have been utterly subsumed by Squarespace. If you are a, say, small business that needs a 3–5 page marketing site with contact info and about pages, surely it makes more sense to use Squarespace (or wix, or what have you). But this sent me down a memory rabbit hole…a former manager of mine loved Brackets. Brackets was Adobe’s open-source text editor (…
Oh wow, I remember playing around with this editor sometime in the mid 2010s (post-Atom, I think, and pre-VSCode existence(?)/dominance).
Was that an Electron project too? Can't recall.
Friend of mine insisted it was the best for web development. I feel like I used it once and totally forgot about it until now.
I also recall that one mac specific editor that was popular at that time? Textmate maybe?

FrontPage Express was what I used to build my first website. (personal project with friends) I learned so much about HTML simply because of the limitations in FrontPage Express.

Nobody uses it to build anything professional, it's a cute toy
It is always funny to see "professional" code or tools compared with "toys". In reality, it is precisely the "professional", "enterprise" stuff that turns out to be a giant pile of shit (which we rarely get to see from outside). There are professional businesses storing their main database in Excel, while the amateurs obsess over whether Postgres is scalable enough.
