Where would be all these projects without Apple's involvement?

Why should I care, who started what?

In that case Adobe should be forever grateful to Jobs and Apple, because they helped them at the start, by suggesting business models and investing heavily while working on the project for LaserWriter and then creating the whole desktop publishing thing. Adobe's Illustrator has its root in the work on Postscript, which was initially developed for Apple's LaserWriter. Photoshop started as exclusively Mac product. Adobe's (originally Aldus') Pagemaker at the start also was developed with Postscript and Apple's Laserwriter in mind. By the same logic how is Flash a Adobe's product? Because they bought Macromedia?

  And I highly doubt people are going to get all the way down to clang.
What do you mean? It's open source: http://clang.llvm.org/

  They write bad software in general for other platforms.
Just like Flash player performs wonders on OS X and Linux, and Photoshop for OS X has very consistent UI with native controls.

  Did you read Webkit's last release?
What's about it?
