    Not bad, but what's up with the audience? Is there an Adobe cult or something?

    Of course there is. Just like there's an Apple Cult, Android Cult, Facebook Cult, Sportsball team cult, blah blah blah. Any group that is large enough to attract that many users/followers/fans will naturally have a subset that is more gungho than the rest.

    There’s millions of Adobe product users out there. Almost all the design tool developers have keynote events.

    As an aside, I hate that people like yourself describe fans of anything they don’t personally understand as cults. It’s an antagonistic framing of a question designed to remove any good faith discussion.

    Regardless of whether these are adobe employees or not, I’d argue that a feature like this warrants such a response.

    It makes me miss Apple’s old keynote style that they’ve abandoned in favor of the bland, sanitized, over-polished and pre-recorded video keynotes.

    I’m honestly over so much of the corporate cynicism and Blind-indification that’s turned what was once a necessary precautionary stance to this demonization or ridicule of people who happen to love their work and where they do it.

    Come on.. it is literally dream come true for an artist whose nightmare is indecisive, confused clients.

    You have to read some of the YouTube comments to understand that some of those hoots and claps could be for real.

    I'm not sure about this particular event, but companies often have employees who worked on the products in the crowd during launches to provide even more crowd noise.

    This is Adobe Max, which is a huge event held by Adobe for creators.

    This session is "Sneaks" which is held every year, and has a fun, casual atmosphere. i.e. it has a theme, has a celebrity co-host, lots of jokes, food and drink served, etc...

    Its basically a bunch of people who are creative, and are having fun nerding out on the tech...

    Its a lot of fun.

    The audience is creative community members who use Adobe tools and are attending max (around 11,000 for this event).

    Not bad, but what's up with the audience? Is there an Adobe cult or something?

    There are conferences for Adobe customers to teach them how to use Adobe tools. I think there was recently an Adobe Max conference in Los Angeles. It could have been filed there.

    Also the "fun" stage setting. I once quit a big-ish tech company when they started pulling stuff like that.

    I think cult is really fitting for a massive group of customers who are locked in by a monopolist. Maybe eve; worse than a cult, because there's just the one,

    It's an immense feature. Illustrators love it. Of course they're enthusiastic about it. Man, there's nothing like this. You draw 2D vector art and then rotate it in 3D space. What the heck, that's freaking crazy. I'd be hooting and hollering. How can you not be losing your mind over this. It would accelerate so many processes.

    My wife's an artist and says they had a shitty version of this but this is crazy.
