I think the statement they are trying to make is Flex and ColdFusion belong together, hence bundling the IDEs and all the intregration work that was done w/ CF9. I think once people get over this $300 issue, it'll really help Adobe. The fact of the matter is that Flex is huge and is not going anywhere anytime soon. Adobe is basically saying that flex is even better with CF so why not develop them together?
