Having any Adobe app on my computer means permanently sacrificing a large chunk of resources to CreativeCloud. I'm happy with Photoshop eating ram&cpu when it's running, but the 24/7 background DRM daemon is absolutely unacceptable. Too bad Adobe has grown so large that the technical people have lost all power. It happens to all companies: they build marketshare and reputation with technical excellence, but eventually reach some sort of singularity where every single reasonable dev departs. The only thing left for a company at this point is maximizing revenue from enterprise/government contracts, and usually dwindling out after a private equity reverse takeover/merger with a company you've never heard of. Management is in a tough spot, because changing their ways might decrease revenues, which would hasten their demise. Imagine the reaction from Adobe's shareholders if they announced they're cutting prices to a third and dropping all DRM..
