From a users perspective, Adobe well knows that the user base cannot afford the luxury of time and money to keep learning and using duplicate applications to accomplish the same end results.
They know the user base will move towards the apps that are the most widely used in the marketplace and towards the apps that have the best chance for survival. This is why they know the user base will phase out the two least marketable apps. (GoLive and Freehand). It's pretty much a NO Brainer.
I will not devote another second to either one of the two least popular apps usless I am forced to. They are finished and a waste of time.
