Bad news for the web design community – Adobe has just announced it is acquiring Macromedia. I fear the worse for the wonderful products I use the most – Dreamweaver and Fireworks. Dreamweaver will probably survive, it’s the market leader and Adobe have all but shown they can’t compete but with the Adobe stable of bloat ware image processing applications the lean-mean webcentric Fireworks will probably be put out to pasture.
I guess I’ll keep the install disc safely for as long as I possibly can.
Do I get the feeling you don’t like Adobe? 🙂
I rarely use WYSIWYG web design apps; they all bloat to some degree. Rock on Pagespinner.
I personally won’t miss it. UltraEdit and Homesite. Notepad on steroids. Loads of fun hair-pulling over coding.
