I suspect that if you start seeing vibecoded "PhotoShop alternatives" productised, they won't look like PhotoShop at all: They'll be something like a bunch of image manipulation tools with an agent loop and scripting, to make it easier to create and run a bunch of 0.1%-Photoshops on-the-fly and save/reuse them.
So something more like Claude's artefacts support, just hiding the techie bits for users not comfortable with that, with specialised tooling.
I'm guessing we'll see a bunch of apps like that eating into various traditional big monolithic tools.
