So tired of Adobe. They're part of the problem.

I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

Time for #abode , I want to believe ;)
No way this isn't just satire or even a scam.
Are they going to be open source, support linux, and end the corporate elitism around graphic design software? If so I'd definitely use it and support it if it releases, if not then I wouldn't. I do not and will not support commercial elitism.
I bet I'm going to get quite a few whiny replies for this from people going "but muh money" or "dEveLopErs nEeD tO bE paYed foR thEiR woRk" if you want to be paid you set up donations, if you think trying to force people to pay is better, just remember that you can't actually Force anybody to pay for anything (hell even Adobe can't, people still pirate Adobe software).
It would certainly be nice to have more Linux and open source projects, but that doesn't seem to be this projects goal. I suspect that there's a market for not always online adobe style products, even with piracy I'm sure the money is a lot better than donations. Also could you share what your definition of commercial elitism is?
