Wow this is pretty huge. If you don’t know, Macromedia is pretty much the leader in the web design world, with Dreamweaver and Flash being the premiere design/development tools, and Adobe is the all around god in the print design world, with Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. This merger could lead to some serious price hikes in the cost of applications, as Macromedia currently gives Adobe a (small?) run for their money.

However, I’m hoping Adobe works their magic on Flash and makes that program actually work (easily) as I’ve been surprised for years that such a prominent piece of the Internet has so many major flaws in the actual programming software.

This is going to have a million g33ks all abuzz with speculation over all of the possibilities…
