Remembering the situation when Macromedia was bought bei Adobe – now I have the same vibes again. Five years later nothing was left except Flash – that horrible piece of software – and Dreamweaver – I liked that one. The best transition back then was from Freehand to Illustrator and (consequently from Quark) to InDesign.

And then in 2015 to Affinity. So ... 5 years with Corel, 12 years with Adobe/Macromedia, now 8 years with Affinity, so far ... let's see what they do and what we decide afterwards.

Yeh. And Adobe were trying to compete with ImageReady. What a cluster that workflow was. Fireworks was great.
