Adobe Animate

Pros

-The timeline interface is very intuitive
-The art tools are very easy to use for simple art and programmer art
-ActionScript 3 is easy to learn and a great companion language
-Keeps up with the times and exports to multiple formats
-Can connect .swfs to other .swfs like legos, if you know your ActionScript

Cons

-Fewer job opportunities that involve its use today than there were 10-15 years ago
-The tools that involve porting its output to Unity are somewhat buggy

Pros

Adobe Animate is the go-to software for professional 2D animations. It has a massive amount of features and tools. It is also useful as a graphic designer making it the perfect software to create 2D graphics and then animate them.

Cons

Its price. It is a rather expensive software so not very assessable to beginners but for professionals it's worth it.

Pros

Coming from a Flash background, it was easy to start animating in Adobe Animate. It's quite obvious just form at how the timeline looks and works, that this is a re-skinning of Flash. Which is fine. And Adobe Animate adds many layers to Adobe Animate, one of the coolest being motion-tracking, which allows you to act out your character on camera, and see your character move in real time! Very cool.

Cons

On my 2019 iMac, Adobe Animate does not function very well. There seems to be some kind of graphics rendering issue with the interface, and it was quite choppy and laggy to work with. This might be just my experience, but all other Adobe CC apps work just fine on my system.

One of its strongest features is that it supports the Motion Editor feature and timeline, and all this to get a more realistic and natural image.
A very powerful Deco tool with which I can do different effects for trees, flowers, etc.

Add coding to your animations for things like randomness, so you have to know some action scripting.
