Courses Plus Student 1,689 PointsCan we substitute sublime with dreamweaver?
Hi, I just wondering if throughout the website course can we use dreamweaver instead of sublime? Actually I just subscribed with adobe cloud creative annually. I feel $70 so expensive for the price of the sublime.

10,322 PointsIt depends what you want to "substitute".
Dreamweaver is a far more professional and complex program than sublime text. The functionality of the two programs differs from a simple Texteditor with syntax-highlighting to a WYSIWG-Editor and powerful web development application.
To answer your question:
Dreamweaver is totally capable to give you similar and more tools as sublime text.
The better question would be: "Do you need all the tools Dreamweaver is providing?" and if so: "Do you know how to use them?"
On the other hand Texteditors like Sublime are very easy to use and simple structured.

Just my two cents!

Dreamweaver is bloated

Courses Plus Student 2,402 PointsIf you are into coding then $70 will be the best dollars spend in your whole coding life.
If you would save a penny every hour you save by using Sublime you still would be break even within a few days (sort off)

Dreamweaver is probably a lot more than you need starting out, but the built in FTP, Live View and Library are pretty awesome features. I suggest using Dreamweaver as strict code editor. Like you, I have Adobe Cloud as well and one option is to use Adobe Edge Code CC which comes with your subscription. It is a simple code editor much like Sublime, but only supports HTML, CSS, JS (which is all you may need for now). I really like it, and use it from time to time to do some of the lessons here.
