Dreamweaver was perfect for this. It has templates and libraries and you wrote in a split editor with html and wysiwyg. Why was it abandoned by many web developers?
- JodieBenitez 3y agoWe abandoned this because it produced markup that was horrible to maintain.
- ulrischa 3y agoNot true. Dreamweaver produces very clean HTML
- JodieBenitez 3y agoIn 2024, maybe. We stopped using Dreaweaver 20 years ago, totally different story then.
- ulrischa 3y agoYes in 2024 it is a perfect static site generator but nobody uses it because it was a mess in the past
- foul 3y agoComplexity comes gradually. You will not find reasonable to reparse HTML spit out from Dreamweaver or Word to fit js/cgi parts in there but withstanding 5 years of work you may find perfectly sane to compile JSX. Plus most of the people in the field never wanted to mantain two very different stacks for work and play, it's also a good way to dogfood. Also you can recover better in plain text when markup is messed up vs a wysiwyg editor.
- ulrischa 3y agoDreamweaver produced clean html what a lie
