Like Adobe applications as one example?
Have you cut them loose Bill? 🙂

I’ve done a few edits with PPro with my Catalina Mac and it’s been fine

Actually most of the Adobe CC apps themselves are 64-bit for the most current versions. But the Adobe CC Manager app is still 32-bit, AFAIK.
However, there are plenty of audio plug-ins, utilities, and drivers that are not. So audio mixers and composers are probably in a worse situation than most of the video folks (if they are current). Plus if you use third-party hardware peripherals and adapters, you may or may not have 32/64-bit compatibility issues.

Yes. Haven’t launched an Adobe app for way more than a year now.
It was uncomfortable. But it also got me unstuck from their approach to always needing to make sure their software was OK for legacy users.
I was a pretty constant Lightroom user, for example. The change caused me to survey a few other photo processors including Pixelmator and Affinity Photo – before I stumbled into Luminar. Luminar is young, but as I’ve explored it’s heavily AI influenced approach, I discovered myself getting better results MUCH quicker than ever before. Particularly on fast turnaround stuff like Corporate Headshots – where you need to rapidly make everyone look OK for a first round (muting obvious blemishes and softening older skin, etc) and then having the control to deeply re-touch just the selects.
It’s workflow with a lot of “start here” automation that you can dive in and tweak ONLY if you need to (so you don’t waste time on the folks without stuff like skin issues or major wrinkles) has been a real joy for a gig like this.
It just feels significantly more modern to me than what I used to do in Lightroom – even tho that’s a great standard proven workflow that got the ball rolling for everyone. I’m sure I’d still be using LR it it wasn’t behind the subscription paywall – but it is. So there you go.
