tried to adapt. Live View actually used the WebKit engine (same as Safari), so what you saw was finally real. But the Related Files bar confused veterans, and the interface felt bloated.

Then came , the first Adobe-only version. The integration was tight: you could now copy-paste from Photoshop and Illustrator as pure, editable CSS. But a dark shadow grew— Web Standards . Firefox was eating IE’s lunch, and CSS layouts were replacing tables. Dreamweaver’s visual rendering lagged behind real browsers.

tried a desperate gamble: Live View now used Chromium. It could render modern ES6, but editing was still a mash of code and visual. CC 2018 (18.0) added Git support —a cry for relevance among real developers.

and CS5.5 (11.5) added a life raft: jQuery and PhoneGap integration. You could now build mobile apps with HTML/CSS/JS and export them to iOS and Android. It was a brilliant, desperate pivot.
