I heard recently during the big government purge that a lot of the actual mechanics of that purge functioned by revoking people's Dreamweaver licenses, and that a lot of .gov websites run on Dreamweaver. Probably the US government is singlehandedly keeping Dreamweaver alive through large annual contracts for new features. I don't have any concrete sources on this, it was just Twitter gossip, but it makes a lot of sense to me—Dreamweaver provides the ability for non-technical government employees to edit the site, low system requirements for the servers, and presumably enough Enterprise features to ensure template homogeneity across an org as large as USG.
