It’s not surprising at all. Adobe, as most of us predicted they would completely just give up and real innovation or advancement once they went subscription. Why spend a huge amounts of money on progress when every designer, photographer, artist, editor, game developer, VFX artist in the world is forced to pay for $50 a month. They’ve dropped a small handful of extra features over the past 8 years but also during that time their software has stagnated and rotted. They didn’t move with technology so most of it is all single core constrained and barely uses the GPU so doesn’t feel any faster today than it did 8 years ago and in some cases parts of it actually feel slower as bitrot has set in. After Effects went from a program that felt almost like magic to something that can’t even play it’s image sequence preview and sound without dropping out rendering it a complete frustration to use, again this all worked great on a Core Duo 2 iMac 10 years ago. Every single part of Adobes business is there for the taking and with only small amounts of effort you can provide something that will take them years to catch up to if they ever manage at all, look at XD they started that when sketch was eating their lunch so they started making XD and they move so slowly that by the time it was even remotely viable it was already leapfrogged by Figma and now Adobe will never be relevant in that space again.
