What Adobe has done is blindly pull the rug right out from under our feet. Dreamweaver has been the one and only application I and thousands of others have used to code, design and FTP websites for years. Some of us have been using Dreamweaver as far back as when Allaire built it specifically to help ColdFusion developers. Dreamweaver offered ColdFusion tag support, a design view when needed, and an efficient way to FTP files.
It seems what Adobe is telling us now is that Dreamweaver is some how not the right application for developing ColdFusion websites, but oddly enough the correct one for PHP developers. The only reason I can see that Adobe stripped the support for ColdFusion within Dreamweaver is to sell us CF Builder... which is suspiciously missing from any Creative Cloud subscription. Otherwise there was no real reason to pull support from ColdFusion within Dreamweaver. It is simple greed.
The reality for a lot of developers is that we can barely pay the Creative Cloud subscription fees every month, much less purchase a whole new program just because Adobe has forced our hand. Adobe needs to reestablish ColdFusion support in Dreamweaver or, based on what I have read in many forums, they will be losing a lot of customers. There are a lot of CF developers looking for an alternative to all of Adobe's products because of this "slap in the face" and I am sure there are companies out their already looking at this enormous opportunity.
I, for one, am looking at other programs to replace everything I use from Adobe because I feel betrayed. Adobe may think they own the market but I am afraid they are going to learn the hard way. If you try to force the growth of the bottom line at the expense of ignoring your customers, you will fail. If you put your customers needs first, the bottom line will follow. Has history taught you nothing?
