Hi Sean, I really don't see any trace of conspiracy in simple math, and, that simple math, tells us CFB costs $50. OK. Real price is the one you have to pay to get a product and that is $299. On the other hand, I don't believe that anything like product bundling can "happen" to company as Adobe.
Let be clear. Most probably, I will buy CFB, because it is a good-enough product and we (CF community) need to support its further development for "higher cause". What I strongly dislike is fact I'll, also, pay something I don't need - Flash Builder. I buy things when I feel a need for it - not when someone else think I need it or am going to need it.
