Todd Dominey noticed (via Colin Moock) that Adobe has finally made public some of their plans for the future of Macromedia products, now that the 2 companies have merged. One of the first orders of business Merging the acrobat reader and flash player, creating an end all – be all content delivery plugin. I just get the sinking feeling that this product will be bloated, slow, and fugly.

I’m still curious to see what is to become of the rest of the Studio suite, as I honestly like most of Macromedia’s tools (especially since Studio 8) more than Adobe’s bloated apps. I bought Studio 8 about a month ago, and it’ll be interesting to see what happens to freehand, fireworks golive/dreamweaver. I can see them selling some of these apps to another developer or canning them outright.

Hopefully golive is marketed as an entry-level web creation tool and dreamweaver can still stick around for those that use it. Only time will tell, I suppose. Let the feature creep begin!
