I’ve never really understood what the deal is with Adobe.

They put out a couple of notable pieces of software relatively early on that have become the standards for their fields. So from that point of view, it would seem that their corporate identity should be that of a staid, venerable old institution.

But instead, for whatever reason, the company has always been and still is more like a fly-by-night used car dealer bent only on fleecing as many saps as possible by whatever means might serve.

They genuinely appear to be entirely and completely without ethics or integrity, entirely willing at any time to implement any scheme no matter how odious.

It’s just weird to me that a company that could be well respected for quality software is instead run like a Nigerian prince scam.
