I’m Bearish on The Future of Adobe
Designers and developers have had a very long and complicated relationship with Adobe. Over the years, we have seen scrappy upstarts come and take a bite out of Adobe’s lunch: inVision, SketchApp, Figma (which Adobe acquired in 2022) and countless others. Despite numerous attempts, Adobe is still standing. Here we are in 2023, and another attack wave is being set upon companies like Adobe in the form of generative AI. Tools like DALL-E and Midjourney make generating images easy and even manipulating images without setting forth inside Photoshop. But, Adobe is not taking this lying down.
