do you think Adobe is nervous about open source graphics ?

Not my experience...  I used to maintain a server based on a rather expensive product (several hundred thousands euros per year...). We hit a bug that prevented us from doing "hot" code updates (so code updates suddenly required three hours of unavailability... if we were lucky). We could never get it fixed. In addition, said product had a lifecycle of 5 years before it was deemed unsupported. Considering that you start development on the new middleware about 6 months after it is out (better leave it to other to weather the first big bugs) and development of a sizeable application takes 18months, you are left with 3 years of useful life before you have to consider migrating the thing to a new version. 

OpenSource has a reliable support. If you have the money, you'll always find someone to fix it for you.
