Look, I’m a dumb-donkey Luddite: I want to download Photoshop, install it, and use it for a year or two. This would be funny if it weren’t incompetent. Oh, and Adobe can’t even use more than 2 out of 12 cores on my Mac Pro on average, but now wants to use the “power of cloud computing”. To make one point clear: as far as I can understand, Adobe Cloud as currently envisioned really means “ Adobe Rental Software with half-assed internet features that I want like I want syphilis, with a built-in kill switch at Adobe’s option”.Īs far as I know, you can use the Adobe Cloud applications just as you always have, ignoring the donkey half*.Īnother possible summary translation “ Buzzword features no one wants that degrade the experience by making it more complex, but ones that give us an excuse for taking away customer choice and charging more more more.
