What I want from a font management app in order of importance: They are clearly reacting to the sluggish Suitcase experience we all suffer through day-to-day. If anybody spots something wrong or left out, add it in the comments.Īs a side note, all other font management platforms I’ve looked at tout speed. This is purely from a Mac perspective, and the features I demand from a contemporary font management platform. So, in the spirit of moving on, I have done a little bit of looking around at the competition in font management. When you start looking around at the competitors - especially the newer ones - you get a clear picture of what the developers want for themselves, and what Extensis is missing, and what Extensis is emulating, albeit poorly.* The world is moving on from legacy software companies like Adobe and Extensis with a new generation of software developers building tools they want to use (RightFont, Sketch, InVision Studio, Webflow). Now Adobe has dropped Muse, and with Dreamweaver a hot mess, is still trying to birth XD. PS is terrible for web design, and guess who spotted that? The makers of Sketch (Hey Extensis? Where’s the Sketch plugin?). When Adobe dropped my beloved web design tool, it forced everyone into Photoshop. Like Extensis, the lengths they go to to ignore their user community are superhuman.īut Fireworks? This is where Extensis really needs to pay attention. This is where my contempt for Adobe was born. But, in the end it was killed off and we had to make due with AI. Those of us in the Freehand community at the time viewed it as an anti-trust thing, as there were really no other viable alternatives to Freehand and Illustrator. There was a case to be made for dropping Freehand: It was a direct competitor to Illustrator. Or worse, create new competitors these Goliaths never saw coming. I bring up these corporate decisions to kill off, or handicap products to illustrate what happens when a company stops paying attention to its users and, in the end, lose customers to the competition. And who can forgot the hubris of QarkXpress in the late ’90s? Now they’ve kicked Muse to the curb (not that I care about Muse). We’ve seen Adobe abandon Freehand and Fireworks after the Macromedia acquisition. We saw the same thing with Extensis’ Portfolio (now strictly an enterprise offering). Read on…Īfter reverting back to 7 and keeping a watchful eye on this forum for Extensis to set things right, it appears Suitcase in whole, or as a single-user product, may be coming to the end of its life. And after months and months of inaction, what other conclusion can be drawn?īear with me, I have a lot to get off my chest. A common thread in the forums is the observation that Extensis doesn’t seem to know how the community uses their software.
