I’m with you. I use Figma for all UI/UX work, Resolve for editing/grading but still reach for AE for motion graphics and some video things. Even though After Effects is super slow and doesn’t seem to get much faster with newer CPUs/GPUs, there’s nothing else that comes close. Maybe Fusion in Resolve if Blackmagic spent enough development effort on it.
Having said that, I think Adobe can still continue to grow with the overall digital/creative market growth, even if they are losing market share on a couple of the flagship products. They have some enterprise cloud software and I guess the photography/print design/illustration users are still there.

The entire publishing industry has no reasonable alternative to InDesign for instance. That’s a lot of software subscriptions getting paid for. Adobe must know this, and their lack of agility must be no accident. It’s like they’ve turned from being a versatile army of innovative creative developers into a strategically located stronghold of trolls.
