Top 3 good things:

• The Adobe Community Experts program is a community
  based program made up of Adobe customers who share
  their product expertise with the world-wide Adobe
  community. Adobe community experts agree to be active
  contributors to the Adobe world-wide community by:
  a) Engaging in peer-to-peer support in the Adobe forums
  b) Posting information and technical support in their
  favorite online community
  c) Writing articles for professional publications
  d) Presenting Adobe product presentations at conferences
  and user groups
  This is a great program to have and provides high
  caliber peer-to-peer communication educating and
  improving the product skills of Adobe customers
  world-wide
• Adobe’s Developer Center has samples and tutorials
  that contain code and downloadable projects. This is a
  great resource for a developer and can be used to
  learn how to build complex projects and applications.
  For example, in the Adobe Tour Tracker application,
  the Adobe Experience Design (XD) team gives race fans
  a way to sit back & experience every sprint and turn
  throughout the event without having to leave their
  chairs. Sports enthusiasts can watch their favorite
  events from the comfort of their living rooms
• Adobe’s community site has a link to an online store
  which makes it easy to shop online for a variety of
  products. Moreover, the stores are classified based on
  location. So if you’re in Italy, you can shop through
  an online store tailormade for the Italian market

Top 3 things to improve:

• Adobe’s bloggers can be rated based on the quality
  of their discussions. This would be a great way to
  know the reputation of a blogger before delving into
  his/her blogs
• Adobe labs provides the developer community with
  access to pre-release versions of products and
  technology in development. It would be great if
  developers are invited to test these products. For
  example, developers can act as beta testers and
  provide valuable feedback that Adobe can use to fix
  bugs and improve the quality of these products
• Adobe’s community for educators lists case studies.
  It would be great if such case studies are provided
  for all of Adobe’s communities thus providing valuable
  reference points for new developers, customers and
  partners
