It was no Quark, but Adobe was never a likable brand, and has always been as much (if not more) of a monster as Apple.
Remember that TrueType was an Apple/Microsoft response to Adobe's behavior around Adobe's monopoly on core desktop publishing technologies. The reason Warnock was on the verge of tears at Seybold in 1989 is because he was forced to compromise on price and terms to keep PostScript on LaserWriters.
