If this trend continues, Adobe will be in deep trouble.Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-87877058014232802042010-05-04T10:56:38.436+12:002010-05-04T10:56:38.436+12:00A few years ago I abandoned Adobe products altoget...A few years ago I abandoned Adobe products altogether. The technical communication world used to revolve around their FrameMaker, which is archaic and very difficult to learn. There's nothing intuitive about FrameMaker. Adobe also bought RoboHelp and abandoned it for years. I've replaced both with Madcap Flare, which is not perfect but definitely a step up. Adobe products are also bloated with features.Mark in Canadahttp://www.musingsofatechwriter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-86545545359944170512010-04-30T22:38:36.333+12:002010-04-30T22:38:36.333+12:00Sandra: Believe me, it's a very good thing I ...<b>Sandra: </b> Believe me, it's a very good thing I didn't comment the evening afterwards: I wouldn't have been nearly as kind.<br /><br /><b>toujoursdan: </b>I'm pretty much chained to Adobe because of the industry standards that are built aroubd Adobe products.

I had to wonder where Adobe was going. <br /><br />I used Photoshop and Premier (for video) until I found completely free equivalents that were actually user friendlier. I also got rid of Adobe Acrobat and use an alternative because of that uber-annoying upgrade feature that doesn't go away even after you upgrade. Acrobat seems to often make the list of most irritating software. I imagine once HTML5 enters the mainstream, Flash will be history too. <br /><br />Good riddance.toujoursdanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106158181662408311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-21531336183915938762010-04-29T11:29:35.441+12:002010-04-29T11:29:35.441+12:00Wow.
