As long as the market supports it, if they both remain profitable. What Adobe will prob do is make Dreamweaver and other products work together better with Adobe products, but I cant see them just dumping them. Adobe must know there are loyal Macromedia users and loyal Adobe users that will stick with there products and resent them if they made drastic changes. I can point out a couple more examples, Best Buy now owns Futureshop, they didnt dump the store or relable it. They built Best Buy stores, some right beside Futureshop stores and run them as seperate brands but carry almost the exact same stuff. HP bought compaq, they still sell computers under the compaq brand and hp brand.
