Shasta: AI-powered audio recording and editing
I know everyone hates Adobe (I certainly share some of the grievances about their pricing structure) but I have been using Photoshop for something like 23 years, working across half that many creative disciplines, and cannot overstate how much I value the consistency, reliability, and neutron-star density of its feature set. You call it bloated, I call it a Swiss army knife. I don&#x27;t want every tool to be that way, but I love that some are. (The problem with this analogy is that Photoshop actually &#x2F;is&#x2F; the best tool for many of the things it can do, where the Swiss army knife is solidly in jack-of-all-trades territory.)<p>Given this, I am very concerned about Adobe&#x27;s continued march into web apps. For most of my UI and web design work, I use Figma, and quite like its feature set, but that I cannot use it offline and that I cannot work in a file that requires over 2GB of RAM due to its browser RAM cap is infuriating to me when Photoshop (the supposedly worse program) enables me to manually allocate as much of my system&#x27;s 64GB of RAM as I please. It&#x27;s difficult to imagine any web app stably and efficiently growing to Swiss army knife-levels of capability. Not just in terms of performance and resource management, but also GUI, keyboard shortcuts, etc.<p>I&#x27;ve long assumed my CC subscription would die with me, unlike many (most?) of my peers, but if the web-based Photoshop somehow became the primary Photoshop, I may have to cancel my subscription, and then kill myself.
