It's the industry standard in many areas for a reason. Photoshop has no equal, though strides are being made to change that.

    Don't care. Adobe is not worth using.

    You don't care because it's not your job to use it professionally. You are not most people.

    I don't care because it's a shit company. We can't just continue to ignore it, and say well it's all we got.

    I would rather use anything, professional or not, even going back to doing it by hand, than support adobe.

    Usually people in the commercial creative space have to collaborate. If no one uses the niche software you use you can rebel against Adobe all you want because a job won't be taking any of your time.

    The larger shops are stuck in it because they have no foresight to get out, and the small shops are suffering because the licensing is really squeezing them while also trying to keep the stranglehold.

    They all will get replaced with AI anyways. Even Adobe is leaning into it, they will continue to suggest that their "automation's" will be cheaper than the labor.

    People using adobe are facilitating their own demise.

    If you are a professional in this space, push back. It doesnt have to be this way.
