RE: FLASH: OT: Adobe Sues Macromedia [OT]

[Eric Stewart]

This reminds me of a phrase my dad used to tell me, "don't re-invent the

wheel, make it better!". When macromedia started using the "tabbed-floating

palette" I didn't stop buying Adobe products. When LiveMotion starts

including effects that Flash doesn't, I won't stop using Flash. The majority

of serious web designers and developers, who coincidently are about the only

ones who religiously shell out money every time a new version of Adobe or MM

products comes out, use both products because they both have advantages. I

understand why Adobe might be angry. But, if MM doesn't have to spend money

to R&D a new UI then they can R&D other things that move the industry

forward that much faster. And it isn't like Adobe never used any ideas that

Macromedia come up with. Fact is, by moving the industry forward we, the

designers and developers, stand to make more money. Now isn't that the whole

reason MM and Adobe should be putting out products, to make us the CUSTOMERS

more money?
