Adobe to Acquire Macromedia!

I’m completely shocked. Adobe will be buying Macromedia! Two of the biggest web applications companies out there. I have long since chosen Macromedia products over Adobe, and now I fear for the futures of Dreamweaver and Fireworks. I’m unsure of what the future will bring, but I’m worried that, without competition, Adobe could take the products in the wrong direction. To me, Photoshop is more tailored to the print community and GoLive is just not as good as Dreamweaver. So, it’ll be interesting to see what the future brings.
