I don't understand the fuss. Other image editors have always existed. Photoshop doesn't own selecting pixels and doing stuff to that selection. Nobody owns that.

The AI disruption means now, your product better be fucking good. Beacon status in a sea of slop. That's all, no pressure.

Interesting the community pushback on datacentres. I wonder if people are asking "do we need 7 trillion vibe-coded photocraft apps in our neighbourhood?"

By the way I don't think Adobe hangs around lamenting its status as original king of media editing tools, with its own word, who others like to imitate and aspire to. It's not the drag it sounds like!
