As one of the first 100 on the Behance platform, I think this is a fantastic acquisition for both sides. When a large corporation acquires a company you love there is often concern, but seeing how the Adobe + Typekit relationship played out I'm expecting great things.

Or Adobe + Phonegap. Adobe seems to do acquisitions pretty well.

[loceng]

I think they have a pretty solid plan. They understand ecosystems, such as why they developed multiple types of desktop software to cater to different needs in/for the creative community.

or adobe + photoshop, adobe + illustrator, adobe + basically any product you can name.

let's not talk about the macromedia acquisition, though.

It transitioned people to using the same suite of products, which I think is huge for the creative industry at large; particularly with making it easier to transfer files from person to person for collaboration, delivery, etc.. Remember when some designers used Photoshop, some Fireworks, and some Corel Draw?

[glomph]

Fireworks was/ is for vector based graphics. That is a different use case from photoshop.

[duopixel]

Fireworks a hybrid between vector and raster. It's for web/interface design, which has plenty of overlap with Photoshop.
