Comments on: Adobe to buy Macromedia for $3.4 billion

Document publishing giant looks to multimedia content as the next step in building its software empire.

Good and bad...but in the end better...

I think with any buyout, there is a time where the software merger takes time to work out the bugs. I am sure we will see that in the future but, I am a true Adobe supporter and I think this is good news.

For years I thought there was nothing better then Paintshop Pro, then I tried Photoshop and my eyes were opened at the posibilities compared to the limits I was facing before.

I am anxious to see what Adobe does with the Macromedia line.

Unite no Destroy thats the clue for the future

I hope to see the MAXIMUS for Graphics Software, not killing
Illustrator or Freehand, but merging both. Freehand has strong
weapons against the Illustrator and vice-versa. I use both
softwares Adobe's and Macromedia's for my work, I combine
perfectly the Photoshop with Freehand (cause the versatility of
managing files) and sometimes Illustrator, which is some short
in liberty on formats of work, but has great tools. So don't see
this like a destruction from the ideas of a company but an
evolution of two species to something superior. Well I know this
guys will bee smart enough to think like this, and not loosing
any followers.
