Well, I certainly don't like where this is going. Mind you, I suspect I'll not be alone and by the time Adobe transition to a fully web-based subscription lock-in, Affinity et al will be better positioned to entirely fill the void. Sod Adobe.
For sure, though, sod Adobe.

It is not different from compiled machine code.
Biggest difference is probably more people have the means to debug something when it runs in the browser. So technically the same, but it may be more available to look at.
Only Chromium/Blink browsers are supported, so no Firefox or Safari. This is bad for the web.
Two very underfunded teams there trying to play catch up. Only one of them has an excuse though, the other is literally the most profitable company in the world who is strategically trying to make the web into a subpar platform for their own commercial interests.
I would love to see Photoshop in browser as a self-hostable option. I have many tools setup on my LAN and slowly been porting applications over to my local server so I can access all my applications on all my devices.
I’m not sure if you’re only accessing applications through a browser in this case but if you’re using Remote Desktop then why not Gimp or similar FOSS alternative?

Chrome and its variants have already won the PWA space, not by some brilliant strategy or sinister ploy on Google's part, but by default of its competitors.
Really cool to see what's possible in desktop browsers these days. Photoshop coming to our browsers is a huge achievement and milestone. But it also makes me kinda sad that none of the mentioned examples properly work on mobile. If even big web companies can't pull that off, is it impossible? (Mainly thinking about Gmail and Google Docs here). Or have we given up on web applications on mobile?
WebAssembly is coming for games next. Near native performance, players can join with just a link, and no 30% cut that developers have to deal with.

I'd like to support Firefox with a donation as I'm sure many others would, but I don't trust Mozilla foundation to allocate it to something that actually matters.
I don't understand why they can't do a pay-what-you-want model. Keep the browser free, but encourage people to pay $20 or something if they like it. I would.
