Is that such a bad thing, in an absolute sense? Sure it made a mess of code (well, early versions, at least) but it enabled people who don't/can't/won't code to put content on the web fairly easily. I know I used it as a tool in the early DIV/CSS days to shunt stuff around quickly, before diving in to clean up the code afterwards.

One big issue these days is mobile. A lot more difficult to do responsive design in the kind of UI Dreamweaver once provided.
Sure, but I'd then suggest it almost makes things easier - today's internet consumers are generally expectant of a certain range of formats, rather than the early CSS Days' DIV Free For All. A neat contemporary version of Dreamweaver, with a focus on CSS/Grid, Responsive layouts, etc, could be great!
