Adobe doesn’t get a lot of love these days. Or maybe they do, but I don’t see it because I no longer subscribe to the magazines that usually cover their software, no longer receive any of their marketing e-mail, and don’t keep up with the websites (such as Lynda.com and CreativeLive) that present online seminars and tutorials.
