After 30 years of paying Adobe, he uninstalled every Adobe app

Release day today - no jam.

In other news: I have uninstalled Adobe apps from all of my computers!

To see how big this is, consider that I've bought multiple licenses of Adobe programs since 1990's and then switched to a subscription model (when forced to) that I kept paying for until now! That's a lot of money and a long history between me and Adobe. Over 30 years now!

I could never use other graphic design programs. Muscle memory, shortcuts, the workflow habits - it was all too baked in me.

And believe me, I tried to switch! I don't support subscription models. I tried Affinity, Gimp... it just didn't work for me.

But now, some guy vibe coded clones of Adobe apps and made them open source and free!

I checked those out and I was shocked how fast and lightweight they were - but more importantly, all Photoshop shortcuts worked and the workflow was identical, the look and feel too!

Is it as good as Photoshop? No. Then again, it is stable and I am able to do exactly what I want to do in design terms. It's also faster. Same workflow, more speed.

So, yeah - this is a big thing for me. I would recommend everyone who's into graphic design to try what Artcraft has put out. Adobe acted very unethically in the past and I think after 30 years of me throwing money at them, I can chill with a free alternative. I'm saying all this because it might help you save money, especially long term.

In many ways, this is revolutionary and discussing it further could take hours of typing. We're at the point of revolution in tech industry and economy. This could be a good, long YouTube video probably.

Have a nice day everyone!
