    The equation for YotLD is simple for me:

    Adobe looks at Linux market share and thinks, “Hmm, we could make some money from this,” and ports Photoshop, After Effects, and inDesign to Linux

    Or:

    Adobe looks at ChromeOS and thinks, “Hmm, we could make some money from this,” and ports all their programs to the web except After Effects because that involves massively extending web protocols again to support all the codecs and improving performance.

      ChromeOS can run native Linux apps, so realistically if Adobe wanted to support ChromeOS they’d probably go for a Linux port anyway. A lot less work than trying to reimplement every single UI from the ground up as a web interface.

        So you’d think, but why else would Adobe bother developing a web version of Photoshop? Good to know, though.

        Obviously it defeats piracy, but that argument doesn’t make sense if Adobe is still shipping a native version of Photoshop.
