I have the whole suite of apps installed as a Flatpak. The Photoshop clone is the fastest one to implement features, but the whole suite is moving really fast. Looking at the commits and features shipped, I haven’t seen anything like this. It looks very well organized.
I have been using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign professionally for ~30 years. These Craft apps are freaking amazing, they open in the blink of an eye and open multi-gb files just as fast. Working with these big files is also instantaneous.
I have done my own calculations, and what they say is true, the Suite will reach beta status by mid-late October depending on the app. But the suite in general will be ready with more features than what a basic-intermediate user would want.
I think what will make or break the Suite is if they go with local AI or not for Neural filters and generative fill. The community might turn on them if they don’t.
But technically speaking It’s truly an amazing feat.
These are my own projections, so it’s not official:

My money’s on Microsoft taking down the repo before that.
