Adobe is a big place with many great products. No offense intended.

I very much doubt the engineers working on Adobe Sign are making FAANG salaries. Maybe your team does. Adobe is a big place.

Not sure I am seeing the put down, what was negative about the comment?

Probably an overreaction on my part, but the comment made it seem like Adobe was a boring existence and not much happens.

Looking from the outside in, that’s definitely how it appears.

Perspective is important :)

Which is why it's fine to challenge the comment. The commenter is implying a lot considering he doesn't have any inside knowledge of Adobe Sign.

And even if you look at public data--esignatures being relatively new, Covid moving more things to digital, DocuSign's share price up 5x since their 2018 IPO, Dropbox acquiring HelloSign for $230M, Adobe's own share price up 15x in the last 10 years--there's not much to indicate that Adobe Sign is a legacy app that could just survive in maintenance mode.

There's also a tendency for people to underestimate the size and complexity of applications because they only use a fraction of the features.

Agreed. Perspective is important :+1 In hindsight, should not have commented and brushed it off :)
