Yeah, I don't really think it's a good thing. Macromedia vs. Adobe was the only semblance of real competition in the graphics software arena. Creating a monopoly is just going to create less innovative, overpriced and buggy software.
If I were to put down money...
- Freehand & Fireworks will die in favor of Illustrator and PS/ImageReady
- Coldfusion will be spun off or die. Nobody cares
- Flash will improve somehow.. better integration with PSDs and AIs, etc.
- Fight bewteen GoLive and Dreamweaver. I'd like to see Adobe work it's magic on Dreamweaver and optimize it.. but DW will probably die within 2 years... sadly.
