I sometimes wonder if Preview being so much easier than Acrobat isn't an intentional poke at Adobe for all the times Adobe strayed from the one true path of Apple. That whole skipping a version of software release because Adobe didn't pay attention to words from up on high to quite using deprecated language surely didn't sit well.

It originated on NeXTStep which used Display Postscript.

The graphics primitives still apply to macOS.

I've tried on multiple attempts now to decipher WTF this means.

Essentially, Adobe === BAD in your opinion, is that it?
