WebStorm vs Adobe Dreamweaver Comments
Top Positive Comment by webzooks · Feb 8, 2024
WebStorm is the best alternative to Dreamweaver along with PhpStorm for PHP projects. It's IDE helping developer to work faster and easier.
Top Negative Comment by Guest · Jul 21, 2019
Webstorm has only a code editor and real time preview, but no WYSIWYG editor like Adobe Dreamweaver. While typing you always need to deal with code specific syntax.
Negative comment by Iva Kyb · Oct 11, 2021
It is not visual editor, just text.

Positive comment by Ted Curran · Oct 4, 2017
It's a code editor like Dreamweaver, with visual preview, but it's much more like CodePen.
Negative comment by Iva Kyb · Oct 11, 2021
Not able to edit visually - just text editor with preview - coding playground. It's nice but is not an alternative to Dreamweaver. More like CodePen.io
