Adobe hasn't had a real "focus" since John Warnock left the building years ago. M&A isn't a "vision thing" and now the company is floundering. They built their stack during the golden age of the PC which looking back at it lasted from the 80s until last year, and now it's too late. Adobe won't die but will fade or will be purchased in time just like the mainframe makers were eaten up by the PC companies. I'd love to see Apple buy them out but my guess is that their messy legacy would be unappealing to a company that values clean interface design — although they might be worth it for the patents.
