Great news for Pixelmator group/founders (probably a decent exit package). Not sure how I feel about the end user experience owned by Apple though.

Apple has acquired many apps and often either killed them, silently (dark sky?), or UX gone down the toilet.

Probably be one of the use cases cited when big tech is broken up

Killed but what did they do with the tech? Did it find its way into something else? The Apple Weather app has seen lots of positive development that I've assumed was integration of Dark Sky into their app rather than keeping it a separate app.
