Adobe Systems Inc. acquires Macromedia
Adobe Systems Incorporated has announced an agreement to buy Macromedia for approximately $3.4 billion USD.
The combination of Adobe and Macromedia strengthens our mission of helping people and organizations communicate better. Through the combination of our powerful development, authoring and collaboration tools – and the complementary functionality of PDF and Flash – we have the opportunity to drive an industry-defining technology platform that delivers compelling, rich content and applications across a wide range of devices and operating systems.
By combining the passion and creativity of two leading-edge companies, we will continue driving innovations that are changing the ways people everywhere are experiencing and interacting with information.

Hopefully this is to the consumer's advantage. Without competition, will Adobe continue to strive to create innovative products? Or will development slow down dramatically?

Well spotted! Any chance you can make this a full news post (with clippets, etc), and then move it to the announcements forum? This sort of stuff would do great as main site news....

Interesting to see what happens next...especially in Macromedia's product area.

dear god of the internet
please make sure adobe don't screw up dreamwever

I will hold my breath in anticipation and that they don't do a yahoo and screw everything up that they buy out. All though I think that this will make some of the lesser known companys that make web autho and graphic tools be known (Maybe)

I don't use Windows, so I am cheating, I use TextMate or SubethaEdit, both very nice editors for OS X. Yes, I am a hipocrit

PHP is fun in almost any program, that is if you love programming. I find that there are some good editors for stuff, it comes down to personal preference.

Frontpage is awful, but anything Microsoft is.. and that statement was more sarcasm then anything.
