Adobe hopes you will side with them against Apple. Yet again.
I remember meeting with one of the Warnocks ages ago who was introduced to me as "the brother of Adobe," and I said: "Whatever." I was working for a heavy equipment manufacturer at the time, and this Warnock was selling something, but I can't remember what it was, but I do remember that it didn't impress me at the time.
Adobe was already abandoning the Mac platform that had helped create a demand for its technologies, and I was in the process of leaving the heavy equipment manufacturer because it was embracing the idiocy of Windows NT.
I really started to dislike Adobe when they ended Mac support for FrameMaker. Their Flash products have done absolutely nothing to make me love them. I can get all the porn I need without Flash, and I experience far fewer instances of performance degradation on Windows, Unix, or MacOS without dealing with that shitty technology.
So now Adobe is hoping to garner teabagger sympathy by blaming Apple for their own poor decisions. Fuck them. In two years, Apple will be developing elsewhere, opening entirely new areas of wonder, while Adobe will be plodding along trying to put the reins on a vision that they've never understood, just like their buddies in Redmond.
