Stop the deprecated madness bring back image data bindings to!!!

Question

I have used dreamweaver since it was from macromedia, all the companys i worked for had dreamweaver, now that i decided to get my own for home and not use the company version things get worse and worse since this creative cloud bulls.... why is the only features use full on dreamweaver been deprecated?? i really cant understand why hate so much the customers that use it for dynamic building, whats the point always shooting us in the head, do you guys know how frsutrated we get when you first bought interkat then change it to the addt then it was deprecated, so dreamweaver was left with a few options for dynamic database producing, now its been removed and we are gived an extension that totalys sucks more than 50% of the features that we had with any other version are lost, example when trying to insert an image i have to do it all manually coding because now we dont have any more to pick dynamic images no databindings for that wtf....Dreamweaver is becoming just an expensive CSS editing tool with for that i can just use bootstrap and any other editor, using dreamweaver we are suppose to save time when developing websites, for a static site we can even use open office writer and save it has html.
Please stop the madness on taking out of the game dynamic options i have spent so much money on other extensions would hate to loss money again like i did with interkat, please listen to use stop it

Hello David,
I understand your analysis, but I also share the "ranters" one.
Like you have said, Adobe is a business.
But we are too.
Now tell me why should we pay that high a price for DW, when we can get a free editor like Netbeans with more or less all the features needed in web design/web development ? If we have to hand-code database connections ourselves, we are better off with Netbeans for instance, which allows step-by-step debugging, to boot. Server Behaviors and DW's extensibilty is (was?) the gem of DW. Take this out, and for many of us professionals, DW loses its appeal.
Like xadesadex stated, Sever Behaviors are not just a visual tool, it is a huge time-saver for building custom web sites, which many of us -- in this era of heavy frameworks, bloated CMS and other bootstraps -- still do on a daily basis. How fast can you build forms for CRUD functionnality without DW's Server Behaviors? And if you extend DW with your own code, you can even save more time. Take the late Fireworks : what would it be without John Dunning's and Aaron Beall's extensions? Haft-less productive a tool...
But in this removal, Adobe takes not only the risk to lose that fraction (how big/small?) of customers who use Server Behaviors on a daily basis, they also take the risk that another fraction of customers will leave because Adobe are presently giving a strong signal that what DW can enable them to do today, DW will not necessarily enable them to do in the future. In today's market, it takes a huge amount of time to learn a new software, change one's worflow and be productive again, as you know. But now, Adobe stubbornly refuse to answer the many ranting/protesting/unhappy posts about this removal, which destroys an indispensable asset for any business: trust from customers...
Adobe is a business, but we are too.
Removing this and that feature will end up closing the gap beetween DW and its competitors, some of which are free. And there will come a time when we will stop asking/ranting/being unhappy and take time to change our workflow and... software.
And the removal of Server Behaviors is a huge step in this direction.
