Robert, For another viewpoint, Adobe was just named in the top 100 companies to work for by Fortune. Our 2013 revenues considerably exceeded projections. So "somebody" out there is happy with Adobe. ;-)

They have a lot of products that have been mature for a long time, so they have little to offer users to justify upgrading. They have a lot of employees with stale skill sets and it's not a company where someone with top skills would want to work. I overheard a conversation in a restaurant in which an Adobe employee was talking about how it was a great place to be while she figured out what to do next in her career because they were paying her $150K and she didn't really have to do anything. Maybe they're not even clueless. In 2013, per SEC filings, Adobe insiders sold 9 million shares and bought 5,000.
