People are doing this to themselves. Stop buying their shitty software, and see how quickly they start to fix it. I don't understand why people are so obsessed with Adobe, since their software nowadays isn't that good. There are tons of alternatives out there that work better and do the same thing, if not more. Is it just laziness/reluctance to learn something new?

A large part of it is that commercial use involves sharing files with other people. It's very hard to get constant results if you are not using the same software. The file formats are mostly propriety and complex. The effects applied are dynamic and probably also propriety. It's just a mess, so everyone just puts up with it and continues to use "the standard" software. If you are just doing graphic work yourself, there are other applications like Affinity that can work, as long as you are not collaborating.

Some of Adobe's other products have superior competition, but Photoshop is the flagship and despite its stable of bugs I don't think there's anything better. If you have alternatives to suggest I'm interested (I really hate Adobe). Ones I'm aware of: Affinity Photo. Much more stable than Photoshop and I like it a lot, but there are things Photoshop does that Affinity doesn't and I can't think of anything that goes the other way. Krita. Fairly sleek, especially for OSS. Becoming very competitive for digital illustration, but not (and not intended to be) a great photo editor. paint.net. Good for fast edits but simplified, not a true competitor. GIMP. Ancient, slow, ugly, clunky, severely lacking in features, and somehow even less stable than Photoshop.

Well, I can't. I didn't choose to use this shitty software, my company is using it. Even if I make a statement to replace it with something better, my clients are still using it. I hate it with the passion, but it is hard(impossible) to change habit of others
