Adobe bungled everything about Macromedia. My livelihood was pretty much built around Macromedia during the entire 2000s and I remember how uneasy I was about the Adobe buyout back then. Macromedia conferences were seriously creative and fun and educational and developer friendly, the first year after Adobe took over they turned it into a big marketing event and within a short time span the entire community was killed off. I think back then (and maybe even now) Adobe just saw the web as a publishing platform, whereas Macromedia saw it as a playground.
