Do what now? Does that mean that I can't build apps in C++ anymore? Because it looks like I can and it also looks like I have more options than I ever have. In fact, I can finally use standard ISO c++ to do more than ever. Do you just mean one UI toolkit over another?

I wonder how Adobe has "kept talent" without rebuilding photoshop?

If you are worried about keeping your personal skills up to date and focused on an area that will earn you personally a living then you should know that some of the most highly paid people I've met in technology code for some of the most niche platforms. I mean serious f*ck off money. Say it with me...AS400. (Or ISeries or whatever the hell it's called now.)

By grabbing their users by the sack and demanding cash they don't deserve under threat of denying access to ones entire body of work.

They kind of did rebuild photoshop. And Acrobat. And pretty much every one of their products after the Creative Cloud move.

Still using C++ and Windows API's. Also, how many prior versions of Photoshop still run on Windows with no modification? Probably all of them.

Don't they use there own UI kit?

Using which tech stack?
