Macromedia
Holy crap! Adobe bought Macromedia. Since I’m not all that excited about Flash yet, my main concern is about how any potential integration of GoLive and Dreamweaver might turn out. Hopefully the superior web standards compliance and code editing of Dreamweaver will carry over to a product with a better Mac port.
Here are some people’s thoughts on other aspects of the merger:
- Macromedia + Adobe from Mike Chambers (Developer Relations Project Manager at Macromedia)
- Macrodobia from Dave Shea
- Adobe buys Macromedia from Todd Dominey
- Macromedia and Adobe Join Forces! from Veerle
- Madobedia: the Future of Design from Ste Grainer (best summary here)
- Adobe to Buy Macromedia from Andy Budd
Addendum:
Jason Kottke has put together a solid collection of articles about the acquisition. An the future of Dreamweaver and GoLive (hint: Dreamweaver is safe).
