Perhaps even more troublesome, seems Adobe is buying out a company that provides or could develop competing software. Judging by discussions here there's been a lot of dissatisfaction with Adobe's retrenchment to "cloud-only" SaaS policies, and alternatives are sparse. Likely it's not accidental that there's essentially no competition in the professional graphics software arena where Adobe products dominate. This acquisition gives the appearance of Adobe trying to maintain its monopoly, and I'm inclined to think it's not really a healthy development.
