wow

Nothing good about this at all.

The next version of dreamweaver will cost like $1000 bucks

They'll probably dump fireworks which is ten times better for the web than the photoshop/image ready package.

They'll probably F up Flash.

This blows :eek:

that too was my initial thought, but I'm trying to stay positive...

hoping that Adobe moves closer to the Macromedia product and not the other way around...

i wonder when they'll come out with new versions of DW and FW (unless they kill fireworks completely..*sniff*).

I am looking forward to a "Print to Pdf" plugin for web browsers. Because, you know they will go there :)

If something changes too much, I just wont upgrade to their new software. I use Abode products and Macromedia, if they start changing too many things or charging a butt load of money, I just wont buy it. My software works just fine now.

Heard from Macromedia Asia Pacific boss that Macromedia has been wooing Adobe for the past 2-3 years... finally they succeeded. We were beginning to wonder if it will ever come true...
