The principal issue is that Adobe does not SAY what you said below.
It is their, primary, responsibility — even greater than creating valuable and stable products — to be clear, explicitly and open in their statements so that we can choose.
Adobe’s website, and their incompetent sales people, could not be worse at explaining what you said.
It took me 45 minutes with some Adobe sort to get absolutely no information. When I asked Apple, in 5 minutes I got what was the equivalent of the first part of your answer. No one, not Adobe, not Apple, not anyone would tell me that 2017 would be updated to work with Mac OS 10..15, and in fact, one bone-head at Adobe suggested that I download Mac OS 10.15 Beta and install it on my main production machine and see if 2017 was compatible with it.
And, while I realize that ‘the world is changing’ quickly, I’m old enough to have seen what the world was like before Jobs met Wozniak (they were a year behind me at Homestead High School in Sunnyvale, California), I do not feel sorry for Adobe or the other software vendors. If it is too hard for them, they can close their companies and let someone else take their market share.
My main, and really only, complaint is that Adobe is remarkably either dishonest or simply withholding in its information and its website is so confusing that it must be intentional, because no entity which was trying to help its public understand what it was selling would create a website like that.
In the end, I bought Adobe Acrobat Pro DC based, not on Adobe’s recommendation, but Apple’s statement that even if there were bugs when 10.15 comes out, they’d see to it that Adobe’s product worked. Why couldn’t Adobe tell me the same thing?
