Adobe have a stranglehold in the market space that they compete in, but their products are NOT "best of breed"! I have learned to use 3rd party solutions as I am sick of the resource hogging, bloated and unsecured software that Adobe locks you into. And I became heartily sick of Adobe products constantly trying to sell me other Adobe products or constantly updating and using all my CPU cycles.
Adobe are a closed system, just like most Web 1.0 companies, and the current protestations are nothing but a desperate campaign to keep their revenue streams from suffering.
HTML5 is the answer going forward as well as other codecs that may come in the future.
I thought competition was still allowed in America? Can't Apple use (or not use) whatever they want on their platform(s)? Isn't it up to Adobe to improve their product and innovate, or suffer a decline like a multitude of businesses have before them?
WHY ARE ADOBE ALLOWED TO BE A PROTECTED SPECIES?
