I guess it’s now all but official (pending regulatory approval), the Adobe and Macromedia shareholders voted in favor of the merger. I’m actually surprised by how high the yes vote was (99% of Adobe, 99.8% of Macromedia) but I think that’s a good sign that both companies? shareholders see the benefit to the merger.

When this whole deal came out I wasn’t sure how it would turn out. In my experience Macromedia’s developer community is second to none, and Adobe’s seemed stifling at times. But with things like Adobe Blogs it looks like Macromedia may be leading Adobe in the developer relations space.

Now I just hope we see a huge push for Flex and ColdFusion at the enterprise level that Adobe is so strong in.

Here’s an article from TheStreet.com about the process.
