Macromedia got an offer they couldn't refuse. :-) I wouldn't refuse 3.4 billion dollars, either. This certainly means the death of Freehand. Fireworks might easily die, too. Adobe wouldn't pay 3.4 billions just to kill everything except Flash. I'd say this means the death of GoLive. Tons of people use Dreamweaver. Who uses GoLive? Adobe doesn't have anything like Contribute or Breeze, either. But it's known they are approximately the second in destroying programs after Corel. Although Macromedia is not blameless in that regard, either. Anybody remembers Fontographer?
