banteg on the vibecoded Adobe suite: the effort and expectations are both misplaced
banteg · x · 2026-10-13
banteg argues the rush to rebuild Adobe's suite with AI misreads the problem: Illustrator is 39 years old, Photoshop 36, and catching up in weeks was never realistic. The real opportunity of AI is bespoke software built for yourself — he cites aseprite (pixel art), losslesscut (one thing Premiere overcomplicates), photopea (from browser PSD viewer to serious editor over 14 years), and Figma (collaboration-first design) as projects with a point of view. Responding to @TheGingerBill's critique of the FilmCraft suite as non-functional "AI slop," his takeaway: the failure isn't AI-written code, it's lacking genuine understanding of users' workflows.
