The people criticizing Adobe are not "morons." Adobe was told more than
a year ago, as were all CW customers, that the writing was on the wall
for CW. In fact, "MW Ron" made it obvious almost two years ago that
CodeWarrior was in "maintenance mode" and unlikely to survive.
Now, if I have two years' warning that my tool is being discontinued,
then I need to make plans for a new compiler at that time... not wait
until the last minute to complain. That is what Adobe is now doing --
while Quark 7 is already UB.
You cannot tell me that Quark is less complex than InDesign, or that
TurboCAD 3D was a simple port from PC code. Yet, both of these projects
were ready within a month of the first Mactel box.
No, the truth is that Adobe has a lot more to worry about as it decides
what to do with its competing products. Will GoLive and Dreamweaver
merge? And what of their different code bases? Fireworks? Flash? SVG
tools? Adobe isn't dealing with the conversion to Mactel as well as it
could because it is one of many, many issues facing the company.
