While admirable in vision this is just the masses tearing each other apart, with the feudal lord 1%-ers just looking on.

While tearing down Adobe you’ve probably paid Nvidia, Anthropic, and Microsoft in the process, while at the same time no amount of Claude will make a dent in any of these behemoth strongholds. Adobe, evil as they are, aren’t the ones controlling the world’s knowledge, flow of goods or compute.

It’s like overthrowing governments with machine guns and guerilla armies. Yes, the playfield has been leveled. Literally.
