A developer frustrated by Adobe's cancellation fees has rewritten the entire Creative Cloud suite as free alternatives, using Anthropic's Opus 5.5 model to help build seven applications in pure Rust. The open-source suite reportedly includes PhotoCraft, standing in for Photoshop, VectorCraft for Illustrator, and FilmCraft for Premiere Pro, among others. The project is being shared as both a practical alternative and a statement against Adobe's subscription and cancellation practices.
