I feel that the ridiculous cost of their software is the single biggest barrier to entry for folks without means who want to design for the web. I never would have gotten my start a decade ago were it not for Hotline Client -- take that to mean what you will. The web should be free and open, and it shouldn't cost you $1k to put custom graphics on your site. I hope to see open source alternatives thrive and overtake Adobe eventually. I'm interested in Gimp and Aviary. Adobe is like the Wal-Mart of web graphics, it's gotta go. On a side note, I’m pretty much over Adobe.

Adobe has an incredible opportunity to support these workflows of the near-future, and help us create these rich HTML5 web experiences. I mean, they've never really supported our workflows in the past (at least, not since the standards-based movement really gained steam in 2004), but there's always the future! Heck yeah!

And even if it's in Apple's self-interest to pursue HTML5 rather than Flash, at least what we'd all end up with is an open standard.
