Bear in mind that HomeSite is written in Delphi so it cannot be made
cross-platform and with DW (and most all of Adobe's desktop tools)
being in C++ and CF/Flex being in Java, why would they want to
maintain one product written in Delphi?

That said, a couple of pieces of HomeSite did get repurposed into the
Eclipse plugins: the query builder and, because of that, the
application wizards are Windows-only. Hopefully those will get
rewritten in Java at some point and become cross-platform and then the
Delphi codebase can die a quiet death :)

Perhaps Adobe might be persuaded to Open Source HomeSite? (sans the
RDS library, I'm sure, which would need to remain in binary-only
format)
