Microsoft will be spending money reimplementing office and I wonder if they'll stop at the minimal electron wrap around o365?

Adobe Photoshop, Ableton, AutoCAD

I imagine Photoshop will be relatively quickly made available, and maybe even Ableton, but based on how most engineering software progresses and develops and how much slower engineers themselves are to use modern tools, I can't imagine any cad software will be ported for ARM within the decade.

If Apple is indeed moving to ARM I think it’s fair to assume Adobe is already working on it.

The mac is as good as its ecosystem.

And bugs, bugs everywhere

I'm hoping apples investment in llvm pays back here.

I wonder if the sw Devs are hoping for funds to cleanly reimplement in.. (name newer language but probably rust here)

I wonder if they'll stop at the minimal electron wrap around o365

They will be relying on Electron getting ported first, which will be reliant on Chromium and Node and goodness knows how many packages on NPM. I suspect it will be easier to toggle whatever switch Apple provides in XCode.
