> Look at what it took for them to get to embrace HTML tools, all of which are very recent.
Recent? I don't use Adobe tools one way or another, but recent is hardly the word I'd choose. It's been, what, over a decade now, or near enough to make no matter[1]. Yes, this starts with Macromedia, but it isn't like Adobe isn't working with a group to build useful tools. Just because they support their own format doesn't mean they aren't supporting other formats.
This doesn't mean they only focused on standards compliance. They are a tools company, and they build tools for people to use.

So, do you really mean HTML?
