I'm more curious about Dreamweaver vs. Go Live.

It looks like a full takeover...

This is really going to make a Microsoft-like monopoly. It would be such a shame if Microsoft then bought out Adobe...
I'm often asked why I hate Microsoft - "What did they ever do to you?". Well, I'll tell you. They made dodgy programs and standards which have wasted hundreds of hours of my time involving lost work in crashes and stupidity.
