Is anyone else thrilled to hear Macromedia has been taken over! And now they'll get the same happy treatment they doled out in years past to companies they acquired.
Macromedia hired a ton of people right out of college, with zero experience, promoted the most obsequious/self-serving, and you know the rest of the story. 26 year-olds with no industry experience running the show, promoting their friends, etc.
It was a very disfunctional company, with some really talented people who somehow survived in the chaos.
Hope the creepiest ones get cut first.
good luck, Adobe, you have some major prima donnas coming your way.

Well, the fact that Homesite is no more is *entirely* Macromedia's fault.
Ex-Allaire people tried in vain to keep in going. But Macomedia's best and brightest killed it.
If it's gone, don't blame Adobe.
