GoLive and FreeHand: Not Dead Yet

I learned Freehand before I learned Illustrator so I’ve always preferred it. We still use both here at Red Door but Illustrator is the clear winner. Read more below:

creativepro.com – GoLive and FreeHand: Not Dead Yet: “Officemate and TidBITS Managing Editor Jeff Carlson yelled out, ‘Hey, GoLive is dead!’ I shouted a long, lingering, ‘Nooooooooooo!’ and then said, ‘All righty then.’ (We wrote several editions of Real World GoLive together, so it’s a program we’ve followed closely for years.)

Following Adobe’s acquisition of Macromedia last year, a cloud of speculation has hovered over the fates of Adobe GoLive (whose stronger competition was Macromedia Dreamweaver) and prodigal child Macromedia FreeHand (whose stronger competition was Adobe Illustrator). With the release of Creative Suite 3 scheduled for sometime in 2007, it’s still unclear how the two companies’ product lines will be merged. So, news that Adobe would be dropping these two less-successful products wasn’t necessarily a surprise.”
