Syntrillium warned everybody a while ago this was in the process of happening and claimed that it didn't represent a negative step from the user's point of view. I think there's a chance that's believable. I'm not panicking - it isn't the end of Cool Edit, it's just the beginning of the Cool Edit team being a department in the Adobe structure. The only thing I'm concerned about is the long term effect of the acquisition of Syntrillium - my experience is that the bigger a company is, the more bullshit goes on, the more waste takes place, the less quality you see overall. There are exceptions. Let's hope this is one.
