I always hated Dreamweaver, so no big loss.
Fireworks, on the other hand, had the best compression engine in the game, even Photoshop dulled the colors on every “compress for web” job i threw at it.
I started as a flash developer, don’t miss it since jQuery and the Green Sock Animation Platform does everything flash could do, but better.
Dreamweaver, gaaaah. Hey, at least it was better than Frontpage, which took a much faster nosedive into enshittification after Microsoft bought it and ruined the absolute shit out of it. Slightly better. Like, it had its own shitty inline styling that would get tangled up in itself and you’d have to clean it up manually, but at least it wasn’t Microsoft styling.
Yeah, Fireworks compression was great! There was a period of time where I only used it to export jpeg, Photoshop’s did suck in comparison.
Buying software outright.
Seriously this. My first thought was “perpetual licenses”
