Depends - if they dump Dreamweaver in favour of Go Live, then definitely bad.

That is one huge acquisition for Adobe. Anyone that uses Adobe products will know how each product is able to interact closely with other Adobe products. It will be interesting to see how they handle this.
This really sucks, The creator of the best interfaces was acquired by the company with the worst. I really hate Adobe with a passion. This really does suck.
I must agree that I prefer the interfaces of macromedia products, and the load times, and the box art. Basically the only thing I prefer by Adobe in comparision to macromedia is Photoshop.

I agree with Generalissimo Incka on this one. Photoshop blows away all other image editing programs, but Macromedia is far better for everything else.
Acrobat is a good idea with a poor implementation. I think that everyone who's ever touched a computer hates Acrobat Reader with a passion. It's going to make me really mad if Flash Player starts taking 45 seconds to load every time and keeps asking me if I want to update it now or later every time I try to use it.
Someone needs to rise up and compete with Photoshop, for raster images nothing really competes. Maybe GIMP somday, I can only hope!
Illustrator's a great prog too.Originally Posted by Westech
Acrobat really does have loading problems. In fact, I recall it loading faster on a windows 3.1 system back the first time I ever used the program.
I don't mind the load times with photoshop, but acrobat reader really slows down web browsing when you need to use it.
I've never had any problems with Acrobat load times. I do have problems when browsing pdf's on the web, because the pdf's tend to be a reasonable size and take time to download before Acrobat can read them. Opening one from my local HD opens Acrobat in a flash though.
Have you even used Flash MX 2004 Professional?This really sucks, The creator of the best interfaces was acquired by the company with the worst. I really hate Adobe with a passion. This really does suck.
I hope they fix the program's interface and shorten the friggen name.
I try and keep well away from anything "Flash". I've only seen a few cases where it's been used well. Most of the time it's just a waste of space. There's nothing more annoying than seeing a "loading bar" when all I want is the information behind it.
Huh-hum: Flash games, flash cartoons, flash animated diagrams, etc...

Oh - of course - for games and stuff that has a *need* to be interactive / animated. Flash is great for that. But only when it's needed and not just for the hell of it.
