Is the Library being phased out?
The Library is very limited in its functions, and often workarounds are required for tasks the Library should logically handle.
My example - organizing and sharing swatches between apps. There are several workarounds available because the library doesn't support a clear, simple procedure. Yes, it CAN perform the task, but it is awkward and doesn't provide everything needed for this type of task.
How many people actually use the Library over Bridge or other file management tools?
