I posted this to another list, but it's similarly applicable:
One thing to keep in mind is that this merger is subject to regulatory
approval. I am concerned about Adobe swallowing Macromedia and the fate
of programs like Fireworks, as well as support for Cold Fusion. I
wouldn't be surprised if someone set up a protest website that would
allow concerned netizens to sign a petition/send emails either urging
regulators not to allow the merger, or at least making sure that Adobe
guarantees not only support but upgrade paths for all of the key
Macromedia products.
Err...anyone want to create that website? I'd sign the petition in a
heartbeat.
