Adobe keep adding pointless new features which I have to keep turning off in the preferences. The new save dialog is insane. No, I don't want to save a copy just because I want to save a jpeg. Why is this even a question? I have no idea why it isn't possible to copy/paste text with its blending options. Select All, Copy - Nope. All you get is the text, with none of the effects. (I know you can duplicate a layer - but not to a different document.) Why does Creative Cloud install three versions? I suppose it's nice that I have v21, v22 and v23 but - why? There still isn't a simple "paste clipboard to new document" command - something Paintshop Pro had back in the 90s. Does anyone at Adobe actually use PS professionally? These are all simple usability issues that could be fixed with a bit of thought. But instead we get Neural Filters - useless - and the occasional core behaviour that changes for no good reason.

My most recent pet peeve is the constantly having to choose not to save to the cloud but to use my local file. On every single document saved

  Yeah, I hate the cloud saving too. Fortunately that's something you can customize: Preferences > File Handling > Default File Location. There are a lot of other useful settings in that panel for people (like me) who don't like a lot of the changes that have come down with Creative Cloud file handling.

> The new save dialog is insane. No, I don't want to save a copy just because I want to save a jpeg. Why is this even a question? I don't like the new save/load stuff either, and much prefer the old versions you can toggle, but that does bring up the fact that /you can toggle stuff/ and really customize the app to your preferences. I don't know any other visual creative tools with the depth of customization that Photoshop affords, between the fully modular GUI, actions, etc. A side note: jpgs saving as a copy has always been the default when you're working with a psd. There used to be a way to turn off the 'copy' appendage (like you can when duplicating layers), but I can't remember if it's still there. > I know you can duplicate a layer - but not to a different document. You can, actually! Been able to for a very long time. Right-click on the layer > Duplicate layer > Destination > Document. Pick another document you have open or create a new one with that layer. Pretty handy!

> I know you can duplicate a layer - but not to a different document. Sure you can, at least as far back as CS6. In the Duplicate Layer dialog, there's a Destination group that includes a Document dropdown. You can select any open file or create a new one to serve as the target.
