Updated page text on link originally discussed earlier, which now redirects from end-of-life to: https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/kb/maintenance-mode.html (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46859732)

That U-turn was very fast. I guess they realised whilst Animate only has a small user base nowadays, they tend to people who really need that specific tool (with no Adobe tool providing an alternative) like animation studios. It’s still dead (Jim) but at least its zombie corpse will keep on shambling along for users.

Microsoft Publisher is still doomed…


They haven’t done any real updates to it in several years. They are other more innovative apps for animation these days. Flash was awesome under Macromedia but those days and possibility of easy/creative web building are over, it’s now just an outdated animation app.
