I really like my old Dreamweaver CS3, and don't want to pay Adobe $240 years for DW. What is better, using Virtual Machine, or just getting an old OS onto a thumb drive and boot into that?
Also how get an old OS now? It's not like Apple keeps those handy somewhere do they?

Whats OS X do you need ? You can still get some of them.

Thumbdrive vs. Virtual Machine:
Thumbdrive is most likely going to be slow. Get a cheap external HD, then you can create an OS X install on it.
Or use a Virtual Machine on your main HD if you have enough space.

Good point, externals are so cheap, but how much for virtual, what recommend? How tedious is booting into them?

Virtual Machines are not tedious. If you have a fast HD (i.e. SSD), it's very fast.
Parallels Desktop if $80. Don't get the subscription.
External HD with separate OS is more tedious, because you don't have access to your normal machine while you use this special OS.

Hate subscriptions, such violations - Parallels, though not sure would work, old software and needs older OS, Parallels would run on current OS?

Do your research. I’m pretty sure Parallels will work.
I’m running OS X Lion on it (in Sierra).

Kevs, maybe you should try looking for a copy of CS6. Still runs on modern machines. Not much different.
Or, have you tried BBEdit? That's a nice code editor.

If he likes Dreamweaver, I’m sure he’s not writing code from scratch. So BBEdit is of limited help.
