I sure hope this ends up being a much different situation than Premiere Rush, which was, and still is, extremely basic, slow, and unreliable.

Of course it will be. Premiere Rush is, and that mobile app is ridiculously modest given its 'Adobe Premiere' namesake.

On the Upcoming Photoshop for iPad
Photoshop for iPad is *real* because it is using the same code base that’s been running on the desktop for decades. That’s an amazing technical accomplishment. Photoshop for iPad is not *full* — and the initial release was never planned to be — because it only exposes a subset of features from...

Gruber's post reads like it was mostly written by Adobe. Is this native
Well, yeah. Things like Photoshop or Illustrator are the ONE application niche tablets might be able to do well enough - unless, of course, you actually create large posters or something else that requires actual screen real estate. 10" screens don't replace (multiple) ultra-wide screens. Try writing a book or a PhD thesis on it. Or write software. Develop and use databases. Systems and network administration. Work with large spreadsheets. Number crunching. Really, just do anything with it that requires you to, well, WRITE a lot or switch through a lot of open applications and windows to do your JOB.

Try working on scientific papers and publications with dozens of peers. You'll quickly figure out how far the "alternatives" to Microsoft Word (and the lack of support for third party applications like Endnote) will get you. Heck, even on a real PC, the most popular alternative LibreOffice does not even have proper support for comments.
There are many valid reasons beyond "inertia" why people stick to Microsoft Office.
It's 2019 and news are about 2020.

I switched to Affinity and Pixelmator Pro on iPad and Mac and it saved me so much money. You can basically do the same things for a few bucks. The only huge problem I have with iOS devices is, that you can’t calibrate the screen. I mean seriously, what’s the problem to make it compatible with some kind of spider colorimeter? I can’t trust the ipad to have real colors.
Ooooh so it wasn’t meant to be full Photoshop from the beginning, it was “real”Photoshop...which everyone should have guessed immediately it meant they share the same code, not that the program will have full functionalities, despite adobe emphasising the iOS version will be like the desktop ..we’ve been reading it wrong all along!!!
Thanks Gruber for clarifying , now you can roll your tongue back into your mouth, Adobe’s ass is clean enough.

No professional creative will (or at least should) work without keyboard shortcuts, it's a killer blow to the iPad version's functionality.
Someone must be!
For example: I was the last one to sign up for auto payroll deposit and the last one to use auto payment feature for certain bills.
So you're saying that there will be absolutely zero creative professionals ever using PS on the iPad? I would think that Adobe would somehow work on mitigating the issue of not having a keyboard - I have no idea, its an assumption, especially since I'm a light PS users.
The problem with Adobe is that they are the MASTERS of subscription software in the cloud, yet they refuse to introduce a pricing structure that TRULY meters on a "pay per use" scale. I'm not going to pay what they want for an annual subscription when I only "plink around" with their software 4 - 10 times a year.
I purchased the Affinity software that does the same things (for my needs), and I'll never look back.
Never Adobe.

Seriously, even I'm not interested in one more subscription. There's already too many running. I'm hoping if someone is going to club all these into one pack subscription or bundle of some kind, like we had (and still have) for cable TVs.
It is completely ludicrous for people to argue that "real" Photoshop means the codebase rather than the functionality to an end user. Absolutely disingenuous.
Who the hell would have been excited about a porting over of thirty years of Adobe technical debt? People were interested because of having the full functionality, and some people posting in the defence on this thread were pretty rude to those of us who had doubts the full functionality would actually materialise, because the iPad ultimately is not a good platform for professional applications.
And... well... there it is.

Even i'm eyeing Afinity, it appears quite good. Could you guide me if i should for for it? Is there anything i'll be missing? anything major ?
Ummm, this is PROFESSIONAL software, created for PROFESSIONALS. Glad you found something that works for you but I think it's kinda silly to complain about a subscription of pro-level software when you obviously aren't using it to make money.
