Why I despise Adobe, part 627.
For fuck's sake, you overvalued cretins, if you're going to put in a dialog box warning the user that the filename they picked has characters that might trip up some ancient-ass webservers and such, don't just automatically sanitise the filename on save without presenting it to the user and asking if that's what they really want.
Oh, but didn't I want forced conversion of spaces to hyphen-dashes (not underscores!) and Greek betas to German eszetts?
Fuck Adobe.

I think the most boneheaded aspect of it is the assumption that Unicode will make a mess on the web, but instead of changing it to something in nice, safe 7-bit ASCII, it's instead an 8-bit character that not only is not semantically related, but is wholly reliant on the local codepage, so it could become all kinda of nonsense depending on what system the webserver is serving to, so it's still not "web-safe". Nice job fucking it up, guys.

@ElectricKeet Yeeeaaaah. Honestly, the only reason their products became the industry standard at all is because Photoshop was the big one to make it through the narrowing of OS choices to Mac & Windows-related systems in the early '90s, and it just kinda stuck from there due to the need for an overarching standard in fields like graphic design.

@Thaminga Exactly that. We're still paying so dearly for the platform wars....
