- Maro 18y agoInteresting reading! The response from Adobe can be summed up pretty concisely: their products have reached such complexity and bloat that they can't do much about it. (Given the management's hunger for regular releases and spending as little as possible on development.) I used to work for a company which was in the exact same state, and among other things I was in charge of creating the installers, so I've seen this exact phenomenon up close and personal. Smart engineers were leaving the company left and right.
