You do realize that the installer is 100% separate? You can easily put
HS+ on your system w/o installing DW. While the products _can_ talk to
each other, you do not have to use their integration. I've used HS+ and
never tied it to DW.

MS bundles _different_ crap. Ie, they sell an OS, and bundle in a media
player, etc. DW and HS+ are both IDEs.

If you think MACR doesn't care about hard core coders, why would they
update HS+? 

Oh, I get it. It's part of the evil plan of "Let's update their favorite
editor and sell it for a cheaper price" plan.
