Illustrator is losing market for UX design, prototyping and svg pretty fast and their other software made to these sectors are not successful. If you install the last version of Illustrator, it works basically the same than a version from 2008 or even older, except for few useless gimmicks. It's sad but they deserve it.Īdobe is lazy af and take too long to change. In the next decade they will lose the market of their major software too. They are doing the same with their graphic suite and their subscription model. But they chose to put all their web strategy on Flash and milk it as much as possible until if became unsustainable. Maybe they even could have an iOS competitor before Android. But I think they missed the opportunity to do it when Flash was on its peak and when Apple kicked their butts.Īdobe had money and the conditions to make an Internet Explorer competitor before Chrome and define their own standards because they would own a browser and the software used to build the web. But if they had a major browser or a mobile OS, for example, they could. They have almost no influence on web standards today.Įven if they were in a position to do this how would they do it? Adobe maybe can also do it, but their market is basically limited to the graphic sector. Maybe Facebook or Amazon also have a similar power, but only can be enforced through their own platforms or by buying competitors. Google, Microsoft and Apple are the ones that have platforms with wide user bases nowadays and enough power to define new standards, not only web standards, but to define hardware and software trends. They lost their standpoint and nobody cares what they have to say. They can't do it anymore because they don't have a platform like they had with Flash or PDF and their products are not used to build the web anymore, like Dreamweaver or Coldfusion. I said Adobe is not in position to do anything like that.
