No. Macs used to provide a better environment for using Adobe products, including OS-level color profiles, a ton of printing stuff, and most importantly: Mac-only fonts and resources. An agency could amass upwards of 200k of fonts, and not really be blamed to avoid transferring to a Windows platform that would save them 500 per machine, every three years.

The difference now is that a lot of web dev’s use Macs strictly for the UX: since Flash’s performance negatively—in such a severe way—degrades the experience, it’s become loathed, even as it’s been tied into Adobe’s own apps as UI chrome. If Adobe had respected the UX of a Mac—including all the low-level coding things that form the basis of UX, there’d be a lot more sympathy towards their plight.

For me, it’s like watching the fall of Quark all over again.
