I do think this should be taken grain of salt. I'm not sure of the status in recent months, but when I've discussed things with Peter, he seemed to not quite grasp some of the subtle needs of professional printing. Things like artists being able to control overprint, knockout, rich black, etc.

The best thing would be to consider the use cases that showcase the various issues and make sure he can get a good UI to cover all, not just the average end consumer cases.
