I posted this because I hope some YC company will take up the torch and destroy Adobe. I'm a designed and I've worked with their products since the early 90s and I've gone from love to hate with Adobe. They've spent the last ten years larding on features on their suite of programs making them a pain to use -- and now they think the answer is using a cloud model as the ultimate dongle.
I realize that desktop software is un-sexy to you kids, but I'm telling you now that if someone created a basic suite of products and had the marketing budget to scale up that there is an audience of creatives who would love to switch.
In fact I've already avoided Adobe Edge in favor of Hype, so I know that someone can do the same thing with the other toolsets. And now more than ever Photoshop feels like Word Perfect...
