I hope Adobe dies and becomes a warning to others - sorry, a "case study" - that is taken seriously. I adored Photoshop, starting with version 3, and watched in horror as Adobe stripped itself for parts. The damage is done, but hopefully we can still get some good out of this if it makes other companies realize that abandoning your users is a death sentence.

All we care about is decades of nostalgia with the same pen tool. Don’t get it twisted Adobe.

The scummy subscription dark patterns like "sign up to the $50pm plan but also it's a yearly agreement with termination fees teehee" show utter contempt for customers. They're probably finished and will end up going the way of Evernote.
