I want to chime in that I do have some misgiving about Adobe's present position-

When you think design apps, there's no choices other than Adobe (well, yes there are, but do I know of any big shot graphic designer using anything but Adobe? No, therefore I assume that Adobe is dominant). I'm now told that Adobe has a tendency to move at a glacial pace, and as of late, their quality has been falling off. I conclude with the latter assessment; as on three separate tools, I would get an error message saying I did it wrong (Okay! Fine, you sumabitches, I'll do it *your* frigging way). As a result, I find myself fighting more with Illustrator.

Adobe really needs someone to burn their ass so they'll actually get the ball moving. I'm thinking it shouldn't be Apple (at least not for now); but third party company who can always have secret support by Apple or other prominent stakeholders in design industry.

Adobe is turning into Mircosoft and I don't really need that.
