I think they just couldn't handle the full brunt of so many Apple consumers being thrown at them by Steve. It's just plain strange. I really hope that they will pivot back to taking the platform seriously again since it can do so much! Now that all of the nonsense has died down it would be great to see them embrace the platform like it was previously. When I take an honest look at this stuff I can't help but think that this platform is still just as nice as it ever was, and it's even better now! I just wish I could do more enterprise work with it in a serious way but the messaging has all gone awry so the perception is blown etc.

That being said, it is fairly plain to see that Adobe as an organization has been returning more to it's roots and is becoming more designer-centric again, leaving the developer evangelism primarily to the community. I'm not saying that's a good or a bad thing, just a change. On Wed, Jun 11, 2014 at 10:47 AM, Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: > Which products, specifically?
