I admit it now - I was wrong about Adobe. I was worried that they would completely destroy everything that was great about Macromedia - that they would remove, limit and discourage the Macromedia community, that they would throw popular products out, that they would produce some horrible combined version of Flash and Acrobat.
I was completely wrong - and I hope that I continue to be. Adobe have made some great progress recently and I don’t think we would be wrong to say that it is largely because of Macromedia! Nevertheless, Adobe’s willingness to take Macromedia ideas on board is clear to see. In some ways, one might even speculate that Macromedia seem to have taken Adobe over, rather than the other way round.
