Ok, so who do I / we send our money to, too get Adobe to up-grade Freehand.

All right, how do we get Adobe to release / sell Freehand to someone who will
continue up-grading it?

Yes, it seems silly to have Adobe sell Freehand, why hell, it's it's biggest
competitor - but they CAN'T be that worry, or think it's that good an
application, or they would up-grade it themselves - wouldn't they?

Why would ANYONE fight it - if you have an LARGE group of folks willing to
GIVE you money for something, why not take it!

Don't have such an ego, that you can't see your way clear to provide folks
with an alternative program, or better yet, just a simple up-grade to one they
love and use daily. How would you (Illustrator / PS Users) like it, if we took
away your favorite applications, and said "Oh well!"

You won't.

It's all about 'efficiency' and the numbers the accounting department at
Adobe deliver.

Like my father used to tell me, crap in one hand and wish in the other...
Then slap them together and what do you have?

I think that hell will freeze over before Adobe sells off Freehand. I hope
I'm wrong but...

it's not going to happen

sadly

Adobe seem to have forgotten what "customer" means

this is what happens when one company get the lions share - microsoft, google

they don't give a crap because no-one has a choice

the only choice we do have is to just refuse to stop using FH as it is. My
version is still working quite happily - and I can do everything I want to do
with it.

Do I need more bells and whistles? No - not really

Do I need extra speed? It would be nice but it's not truly necessary.

Over they years there have been one or two really important changes - like the
multiple pages that appeared from FH3 to FH5.5 (that was a significant upgrade
- we stopped using Quark - HOORAY)

and there's the master pages thing - which s really helpful.

but right now there isn't really that much I feel is missing from what I've
got - so unless there's a really really good reason to switch I wont.

the only problem I have in real terms is not within my company or my own
workflow but rather from others who are using AI or Indy. I inherit a file and
not only do I have to have the same program to be able to open it I also have
to have the latest version. People that are sending me files in Indy CS3 don't
impress me - they might think they do, but they are wrong.

all they are doing is Adobe's dirty work - pushing us all to buy the latest
upgrade an switch from programs we love to ones they want us to use.

Is it fair? No

can we stop it? No

have I ranted enough yet? Actually you got there a while ago.....
