... at least it is a step in the right (ok, this depends on the observer's feelings about open source, let's not flame about this piece) direction.
I wouldn't expect much more than what they're giving now. At least not for starters. If the tool is really widely used, it wouldn't take long before Open Source developers wrote a new IDE to use it, and that could teach Adobe about how useful a better relationship with the open source community could be.
Let's all just wait and see how that goes.
