Problems using Illustrator for iPad

There’s growing evidence that points that Adobe intends to quietly ditch Illustrator on the iPad. An app from a company this large does not stay this buggy, this unstable, and this incapable of opening or executing basic tasks from its own desktop files by accident. “Updates” continue to roll out, yet core issues remain unresolved for years, suggesting maintenance theater rather than real development. At some point this starts looking like intentional neglect, and I’m sick of this shit.
