This is actually what happend to Nero and k3b.

Nero a leading CD/DVD writing application on Windows came to the Linux Desktop 
market a little bit too late and consequently failed.

From

"Why anyone would bother with Nero when a much superior product, K3b, does it 
faster, better, and is fully GPL'd, is beyond me."

I expect the same will happen for Adobe acrobat in the next 12 to 24 months.
