As someone that has used three of those applications, and actively uses two of them I think simply having documented workflows for how to produce certain industry standard outputs from the programs would be of great benefit. If the kickstarter campaign just produces some utilities to support that I think it would benefit a lot of artists.
I mean, all that money could be put to better use and fund Gimp or Inkscape for instance, instead of that vaporware. But I guess people are more willing to give money to these Kickstarter marketing pitch.
"Let's invest money to continue enhancing existing solutions, which are free and open for all" sounds just so much less exciting than "we are going to end Adobe with $235k from our backers".
