Isn't that a dealbreaker for a lot??

Isn't that a dealbreaker for a lot??

Certainly, but plenty of people don't rely on it.

I think this mostly shows Adobe really is working on it, which will put some minds at rest.

Would those missing features be available in the Intel version running under Rosetta 2?

??? just about every commonly daily used feature is not available. I’ll wait.

Of course. But this is just Beta 1.

The most interesting thing for me about this is how many features it’s missing. It says something about the complexity of porting the more complex apps to AS - it’s apparently not as simple as just recompiling for a different target.

In theory, but who knows in practice.
