This is the #1 reason I hate Microsoft. When you buy hardware or software from Microsoft, you’ll find that they will suddenly discontinue the product and leave you hi and dry.

Remember the Zune - I bought one and actually liked it, but within a year after I bought it, it was gone.

Remember Visual FoxPro? Remember Frontpage. I spent a considerable amount of time learning and using those two but MS dropped them with no good replacement.

I will never, ever buy hardware from Microsoft because I know that MS will suddenly discontinue the product with no good replacement. I will never, ever buy software from Microsoft unless it’s a product that I know can’t be discontinued (e.g.Office).

I won’t let those bastards bite me again.

Once you arrange the panels the way you like, it looks like Dreamweaver CS6, I think it is better then the latest Dreamweaver 2017 which is a mess.
I still use Dreamweaver CS6. You can still get it from Adobe if you have a license.

Dreamweaver CS2017 complaints <- many
