CoolEdit! haven't heard that name in a while. Yeah, Adobe used to be ultra-respected, especially in the 90's as Photoshop took the world by storm. These days, as you can see, the response to "X acquired by Adobe" is met with universal disappointment (except by those who have Adobe stock, I guess).

Even those with Adobe stock are not happy; Adobe's shares are down over 15% since the announcement.

Incidentally, the acquisition was about 10% of Adobe's market cap
SoundForge was the better option, cracked, just like Microsoft used it, of course. That was in the Radium days.
It went over to Sony and is now at Magix.

Acid 2.0 was for loops and basically a DAW vs the SoundForge sound design angle. I made some wicked tracks in Acid back in the day. Also became a Sony product, still works pretty much the same.
