Macromedia has new competitor on SWF builder
New tools like NeoSwiff and Xamlon Pro Flash Edition are amazing wins for the Flash developer community. Macromedia has some competition now, and it’s going to have to fight to keep it’s developers using ActionScript. Right now, I’d say they’re behind the curve. In Visual Studio I have a much better coding experience than I do in the Flash IDE. It’s not just the IDE either, but rather the assortment of complimentary tools available. How many UML programs generate ActionScript? How many generate C#? Now how about round trip engineering? Model driven architecture, anyone? These are the things that appeal to my inner Software Engineer. ActionScript doesn’t even come close to C# in this respect. See in details

Major news today when Adobe announced that it is to acquire Macromedia in a deal worth $3.4 billion. There isn’t much detail available yet except this press release on Macromedia’s website.
