Even if the headline was accurate instead of hyperbolic, my response would be something along the lines of "because no one's a fairer and more impartial judge of Apple software than Adobe." That list of incompatibilities is something I think Adobe should be ashamed of: it is essentially a "List Of Areas Where We Don't Have Our Shit Together." Apple's cut-off dates for legacy versions are pretty aggressive, true, but with the notable exception of the XServe (and how many people do you know running Creative Studio on an XServe?) they're also aggressive about announcing them ahead of time. This is basically another data point in the pattern of Adobe not being a very good development house, along with all the points about "please exhibit good design taste in your design applications." Then there's this: "Adobe also notes that one of Lion's marquee features, the System Preference that allows you to have Lion restore an app's windows just as they were when you quit that app, doesn't work at all in Adobe products. "This feature requires new code in order to work properly," they note. "Adobe will research adding this functionality for inclusion in future versions of our products."" That's not a "woe," that's "repeating Apple's documentation of the feature."
