Problem being that now everyone will think they are a CF programmer, like
all people using Dreamweaver think they are HTML/DHTML programmers (when
half the time they haven't got a clue!).
I think this is a good merger, but lets not get carried away. The worst
thing is that the developer base is certain to increase from the increased
exposure that the Macromedia name brings. That means more coders, more
sites, less money for those who've been in it for longer!
Not thinking just about money though, also thinking about the perception
from managers and things. Still not sure about that yet...
