I'm using Dreamweaver, but it doesn't give me classes, functions, subs names when I am starting to write..
Are there any good alternatives?

It used scripting on the server to create content that would then be sent to a client's web browser, and as a result it enjoyed a tremendous amount of success. Classic ASP, however, is no longer being developed by Microsoft at all – it has long since been replaced by ASP.NET in 2002, a newer alternative.
The answer is clearly "Yes, Classic ASP is supported, and No, it will not disappear". To convince you, with each new version of Windows Server, Microsoft indicates a total support of the ASP platform throughout the lifecycle of Windows Server, i.e. at least 10 years from its release.
Classic ASP is still supported and will be all the time that it is included in IIS, which is a component of Windows Server.
Allaire's HomeSite 4.5 is what I have been using for about 20-years. I've tried NotePad++ and it works pretty good also, but is a bit more difficult to use. I also tried several versions of Visual "XXX" (Visual Studio, Visual Code, etc.) and all of them are monster programs, and load very slow, even on a very fast R610 server. Unfortunately, HomeSite is hard to find, as it is now owned by Adobe, and they have pretty much killed it. If you do find HomeSite, don't use the 5.0 or 5.5 versions, as they crash intermittently. HomeSite v4.5 is very stable.

There isn't anything, since Classic ASP is a scripting language. Visual Studio has very rudimentary Intellisense but only for very basic features and I've found it doesn't help. Your best bet is to stick with Dreamweaver or just use a lightweight text editor with syntax highlighting. I recommend Notepad++
