Yesterday, word got out that abobe purchases macromedia for $3.4 bilion. http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/invrelations/adobeandmacromedia.html. Wow... What will happen to Freehand, Dreamweaver and Fireworks? The most elegible candidates for dissolving in Illustrator, GoLive and Photoshop. And what will come of Flash, will it all be (open) SVG or PDF soon? Time will tell.
Other issue: ColdFusion incorporated open source pdf-generation in it's latest release. I guess it will be depreciated soon.
By the way Macromedia still sells Homesite and ColdFusion, which they acquired, when bying Allaire a couple of years back, probably the Macromedia product line will still be available for a while.
