Speaking for myself, I'm not a fan of the way Adobe caters to the "YouTube" crowd. I much prefer the way BMD caters to the "Cinema/Broadcast" crowd.
While Resolve's development does significantly outpace Premiere Pro, resources are not infinite. I'd prefer they're spent on other things.
Adobe isn't catering to anything.
They're respecting their users, because every one of them pays for the product. They deserve to have their needs met, or at least considered, regardless of how a specific user feels. It's called fairness. I don't see why it should be any different with any other product.
And we're free to register our own feature requests, in addition to theirs.
Apple and Adobe were just far more responsive to a growing market. That is not catering. That's good business sense. That doesn't make those products less professional. It just makes them more broadly optimal for more people, because Apple/Adobe actually thought about them when developing the software.
The reason why Resolve is gaining those users is due to pricing. A lot of the features it has added have existed in Adobe CC for years, so development pacing is bound to be "faster" - at least the perception of it. They are adding adding features that target more solved problems than Adobe, and integrating already existing acquisitions into Resolve.
Some of the things those people are asking for are basic QoL requests... They can't even do that, without a certain sect of entitled/defensive "professionals" giving them a regurgitated sermon about what is proper...
And honestly... stop scapegoating Adobe. That's getting really old.
