Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale.
So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???
Feb 2, 2026 21:51Hey here's a new feature idea MAKE IT STOP CRASHING
It's a perfectly cromulent program, so you're discontinuing it BECAUSE you don't need to update it??? I HATE THIS HELL WE LIVE IN
To be fair they innovated Photoshop by adding an NFT export and then GenAI so maybe it's a blessing.
