More power to them.
However, that doesn't reassure me from the fact that they're now the only serious player in this field; competition is always healthy, IMO. Secondly, there are several different ways to reach same objective, so having different programs with different UIs, different philosophy will ultimately allow for more content.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as market stands right now, if anyone came up with a great idea in this field, it'd be a matter of time before Adobe snatched it and integrated it into its product and because they're the de facto standard, everyone will continue to stick with Adobe, effectively squishing any creative offshoots that may have resulted. That's my #1 concern.
