![]() All the hobbyists went to Gimp and Inkscape. Back then, plugins for hobbyist power users were a big market. So I've been using Adobe products for a long time. If others do the same, then XDs only chance is a truly open file format that other apps can also use.ĮDIT: If I remember correctly, I released my first self-developed plug-in for Photoshop 5 around 1999. I'm still being held hostage by them to access my old files, but for every new project, I go out of my way to avoid using any Adobe-specific file format. So I'd say XD never had a chance because it launched after the customers left. Now, they would need to spend much more on person-bound license rentals. Adobe burned all bridges with their customers when they introduced CreativeCloud, that universally hated DRM app that randomly maxes out your CPU.Īlso, before, companies, schools, and universities could purchase a few perpetual licenses and use those for teaching.
