It's official: Adobe GoLive is GoDead
I just received the following email notice from Adobe that they’ve discontinued development of GoLive so that they can focus on DreamWeaver.
Dear Adobe software owner:
Please take note that Adobe has discontinued development and sales of Adobe® GoLive® web authoring software. This decision — effective April 28, 2008 — was made so we can focus our development efforts and sales resources on Adobe Dreamweaver® software, our web design and development application.
Dreamweaver plays a pivotal role in the web and cross-media workflows supported by Adobe Creative Suite®, as well as in Adobe’s platform for Rich Internet Applications, including Adobe Flex® and Adobe AIR™. Concentrating on Dreamweaver will enable us to better serve the needs of customers who want to create engaging websites and applications.
Personally, I was a GoLive user, but is anyone really surprised by this? Although Adobe would have probably have preferred to keep their HTML editor (instead of MacroMedia’s) Dreamweaver had a much larger installed base.
Any other GoLive users out there disappointed by the announcement?
