Adobe have always been sleazy. They price gouge for
Photoshop because they can get away with it. They're
members of the Business Software Alliance, which sends
SWAT teams into businesses after getting tips from disgruntled
employees, while hiding the companies actually doing the
enforcement. Adobe have tried to gain control of the Internet
3 times -- With Flash Player, AIR and PDF.
Then there's the rental-only change that left longtime
customers no choice but to pay rent.
Then there are the artificial restrictions on PDF format that
helped Adobe maintain monopoly by giving away the viewer
but gouging for the editor.
And of course there's
the wild bloat of their software. Last time I looked at
Acrobat Viewer it was something like 125 MB, and that was
many years ago. PDF Exchange Viewer, which provides me
with limited editing ability for free, is only 25 MB. Sumatra
viewer is something like 8 MB.
