Truth be told, seperating Miramax from Disney was the best thing for Disney to do. Miramax was used to release more experimental and adult movies that weren't able to be distibuted through Disney Pictures or Touchstone Pictures.

But ever since Disney acquired Marvel Entertainment, and subsidised Marvel Studios into Walt Disney Studios, there's been no point in retaining Miramax because the differences in profit is night and day. To add to that, if Disney retained Miramax before acquiring Lucasfilm, then Disney may have been breaching the antitrust law thus preventing the acquisition of Lucasfilm.
