I have downloaded and started playing with them. It's going to get me off Adobe really quick.
It's still under development, so it still has some rough spots, but it's pretty amazing.

Registration is now open. It usually takes me a couple of hours or less to validate accouts. If you are coming over from VoD or DR and use the same user name I'll give you Adult access automatically. Anybody else I will contact by DM about Adult access. NOTE I do have spam account creation testing on, but some spam accounts do get through and I check all manually before giving them access. If you create an account where the user name is a series of random letters, the email address is another series of random letters and numbers and is gmail, and the IP you are creating the account from is a VPN address noted for spam, it is going to be rejected without apology.
Adobe is Screwed. So is every other software company

Just playing devils advocate, how is this different in your mind to just uploading a hacked version of these apps for anyone to use?
It isn't the same code, they wrote it from scratch using the functionality. See Borland vs Lotus 1-2-3 from 1990 and you'll see the same thing without the AI.
It's also why Adobe is likely to lose a lawsuit.

How do you not use any of the original code if they are able to unlock proprietary Adobe formats and functionality. To me this isn't any different from China reverse engineering other peoples IP
They open sourced the code. If they did use reverse engineering Adobe should be able to show it in court, the code is all there. Because of that my bet is they didn't.
And that actually is the same type of case that I mentioned in the link above. The look and feel is the same, the code is entirely different. And other programs created traditionally can read and use Adobe file formats, that's what the PDF format is all about for one, but other programs read PSD's also.
