Did you know that Adobe bought Macromedia?
Is this good news or bad news? More likely good, I guess...
I really don't know.
What do people think?
Bad news. Very bad news. Fewer companies in the marketplace => less
competition => higher prices and less technological advancement and less
corporate interest in open formats.
(I care about open formats far more than I care bout open source code.)
That leaves what, Adobe and Microsoft as the only image processing
companies of note?

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it
to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the
possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of
it." -- Thomas Jefferson
