While not my profession, graphic design has been a hobby of mine for the past few years and I have to say that Adobe is hitting their stride these days. I do think their design language has shifted more towards casual users from power users, but that's okay. One thing they mentioned in the article was how the 'brutalist' designs of their software wasn't inviting to potential new users.
I completely agree; there's a steep learning curve to creative cloud, and the design language doesn't make it any easier. I' excited to see the spectrum 2 rollout but I do hope users will be given an option on how simplified they want the desktop programs to be. The images on the blog post suggest Adobe might start hiding features behind menus and toolbars, which would only slow down power users. And FWIW I could consider just about every professional who pays for Adobe as being apart of that camp.
