Adobe’s subscription prices aren’t that much if you consider them a business expense. They’re cheaper than an ISP. It’s not the prices that make Adobe shit, it’s the practices.
The fact that this is downvoted is really frustrating, as a software engineer. Expensive software pays the bills for the developers who make it. When that software is for professionals, they generally don’t mind the expense.
The things that make Adobe shitty have nothing to do with how pricey the software is. Adobe has shit business practices, they’re anti-competitive, and they use dark patterns and deceptive, borderline illegal terms to exploit their users. That is why you should hate them.
It would be super great if all software could be free, but then people like me wouldn’t be able to afford rent. If you’ve ever donated to an open source project, kindly disregard this, you are awesome.
I tried ArtCraft and found it completely unusable. There is weird jank everywhere. Brush cursor turning square, weird shenanigans when typing… It looks impressive, but it’s still AI slop.
Good news. I think they might struggle a bit with the ArtCraft stuff in development.
I’d much rather use a paid software that was written by people than a free software that was written by clankers.
You think humans are doing the port? I’d wager it’s Claude doing it.
Yeah, fair enough.
have you checked Adobe subscription prices before writing that comment?

Free software need not be gratis
I don’t think that’s relevant here.

try it again. it’s evolving fast
first time i tried, it was useless. I tried again, 2 weeks later, after chris titus made a video about it and it worked fine.
