I don't know why people are so surprised with this acquisition. Adobe has wanted a piece of the mobile development world for some time (look at the export to iOS they released not too long ago). They already have a decent suite of development tools and this will only make them stronger. A write once, deploy to all strategy is quite appealing, and if Adobe can manage to wrap it all up in to a nice piece of development software, they'd have a real winner on their hands.
- donw 15y agoThe thing is, Adobe has a history of not releasing anything remotely like 'nice development software'. Even their installers and update processes are universally horrible. Out of this, I expect some sort of massive IDE targeting mobile devices with HTML5/JS, basically like Titanium only an order of magnitude slower.
- bsergean 15y agoDid you ever work with Flex Builder (now called Flash Builder), or used the AS debugger that comes with it ? Are you familiar with MXML / AS3 ? Because compared to the painful experience that HTML/CSS/JS is or used to be I think that this is closer to a 'nice development software' than you.
