I know quite a few of you guys are into graphics/web stuff related to Macromedia and/or Adobe..  this should be of great interest. They're merging!

Hmm this is interesting.

I hope Flash and PS will become more compatible to each other now. ;)

On the other hand I think this could have influence on the quality of Adobe's products...

We'll see.

Hmm, this smacks of Microsoft's empire building.  All companies merge into one super-giant with no competition...of course it might be good thing, who knows?

Monopoly is never a good thing, because they get to dictate standards and prices all they want. Nothing like a bit of competition to keep things healthy.

This is going to be messy I think, I wouldn't exactly say the 2 companies work to parallel goals. Photoshop always gives me the feeling the Web Stuff was only added to keep people happy, but at it's heart, Photoshop is an Art package, not a Design package.

this will either be an awesome success or an awesome failure, i await to see.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

there is no reason why they would make any major changes to any program's interfaces because of a merger.

true. true, it took me a month to get comfortable with PS7's interface after using PS6 for a long time, going from 7 to CS wasn't so bad..

but still

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Adobe markets to corporations.
Macromedia markets to individuals.

This is going to be a train wreck.

I suspect that was partly the reason; help punt their stuff to an untapped market, I'm not sure if the 'light' cheap version of Photoshop did particularly well.
