In my experience they deserve each other. They also are both extremely arrogant companies that don't give a meaningful toss about Linux - they've said as much at the conferences I've been to. Maybe this consolidation will change things???

I think you answered your own question before you even asked it :)

I'm more worried about the continued existence of some of the Macromedia products. Adobe already has GoLive, will Dreamweaver cease to exist? What about Fireworks (I hate ImageReady)? Freehand vs. Illustrator?

OTOH they might just leave the product lines as-is and create a whole range of great package combos. Or maybe they'll sell off Freehand like they did last time, after buying Aldus to get their hands on PageMaker.

Interesting times ahead...
