Adobe today reminds me a bit of Apple in the mid-90s. Tremendous engineering and design talent in the company. A loyal base of users built over 20 years. But management that just doesn&8217;t get it at all, and seems hell-bent on running the company into the ground. Historically, Adobe has provided terrific user experiences. Now, they&8217;re a laughing stock.http://diveintomark.org/archives/2008/07/04/adobe-9 Scenes From a Franchise- July 4, 2008 Khoi Vinh: In case you didnt realize it, three years ago, Christopher Nolan brought our long, national nightmare of bad Batman movies to an end.
