I miss macromedia.
I miss competition.
What are ya, some kind of commie?
I purchased affinity recently. It is taking some getting used to. But it is better than a subscription to adob€
Yeah I’m using that too but since they got acquired by Canva their future is uncertain
A valid concern. And I am already looking for a replacement on macOS that is not gimp.
I always hated Dreamweaver, so no big loss.
Fireworks, on the other hand, had the best compression engine in the game, even Photoshop dulled the colors on every “compress for web” job i threw at it.
I started as a flash developer, don’t miss it since jQuery and the Green Sock Animation Platform does everything flash could do, but better.
Funny story: around the mid-2000s, my boss at the time moved me off of web development because his teenage son was really good at Dreamweaver. I was in my 20s, losing my “Webmaster” job to a young whipper snapper.
It was my first wakeup call that young people can always replace you.
Btw - Not shitting on the kid either. He was pretty smart and honestly, I was a really crappy web developer in that era.
I always hated Dreamweaver
Yeah, probably the weakest link on the Wayne’s World soundtrack tbh…
I miss Fireworks. I have an old computer that still runs it and it’s still my favorite program to quickly throw something together in. I hate that they killed it and wish there was something like it still today. I haven’t found anything I like as much for that.
I miss CoolEdit Pro.
Buying software outright.
Seriously this. My first thought was “perpetual licenses”
Why kill it when you can make it open source instead
Adobe ate Aldus, which had Photostyler, which was absorbed by Photoshop…
Things Killed Adobe.
What about freehand?
