CoolEdit! haven't heard that name in a while. Yeah, Adobe used to be ultra-respected, especially in the 90's as Photoshop took the world by storm. These days, as you can see, the response to "X acquired by Adobe" is met with universal disappointment (except by those who have Adobe stock, I guess).

- ebertucc 4y agoEven those with Adobe stock are not happy; Adobe's shares are down over 15% since the announcement.
