> What we shared did not meet our standards and caused a lot of confusion and angst within the community. Absolutely abhorrent communication. There was no “confusion”, they even admit later in the messaging they changed their plans: > More importantly, Animate will continue to be available for both new and existing users. This is a change from what we communicated in the email yesterday for the status of Adobe Animate, its time-frame, and availability. Just lead with that, no need to throw sand in people’s eyes. | ||

Yeah, and so was Freehand/MX (I was a beta tester for Macromedia and still use it) --- once a complex application is no longer updated for new OS versions, its death knell has sounded, and it's only a matter of time before it can no longer be used (save for in a VM which recreates the environment it was developed for, or on Windows 11 (which is arguably a stack of compatibility layers w/ the attendant performance and reliability hits)) | ||
