> I really wish Adobe had open sourced it at the end. I suspect it would have paid dividends somehow.

Same way pdf does, because the money was in the authoring tools and they had the best ones around.

But adobe mostly inherited flash because they wanted the death of macromedia, so they didn't really care about it.



Suddenly everything makes so much sense!

Magento? The…eCommerce platform that did a small fraction of what Fishbowl did?


I wouldn’t know, haven’t worked too much w/ Fishbowl. I was mentioning Magento as another product Adobe bought and is slowly screwing up so badly they’re killing it.

They desperately want AEM to be the front end to headless Magento and cannot/will not put any effort into a storefront or services layer or anything MACH for fear of it competing w/ AEM.

They’re missing the boat and in 5 years Magento will have gone from an eCommerce market leader to trailing the pack and almost dead.
