Double digit growth in YoY revenue for past ten years, YoY net income stable growth as well, with 28% last year alone. I wish I was cooked like that. Adobe's going nowhere soon, their stock will find grounding soon enough. Adobe always swims, like Autodesk.

Except for the whole PDF-industrial complex. Adobe has a long life ahead (maybe a sad one) as long as PDFs are the document format of choice.

This article captures my feelings 100%. Enough good will has been burned that I'm willing to suffer worse products or higher prices from others than to deal with Adobe again. But you don't have to put up with worse, you actually can have a lot better than Adobe products! This article doesn't mention the competition but Da Vinci Resolve is taking over the next generation of users right now.

This is wishful thinking. We shouldn’t allow such nonsensical bait titles on here.

I thought Adobe was boned 15 years ago (2011) when they debuted Creative Cloud and it was universally despised while their stranglehold on PDF manipulation was already well on its way out, yet here they are still alive and kicking. I chalk it up to the inertia of big dumb orgs that would rather keep paying for a piece of crap they're familiar with than risk trying something new.
