Installing CC immediately cripples your machine and it can’t ever be uninstalled. The only course of action is throwing it on a good old plague pyre. You can’t cancel your Adobe subscription without sacrificing your first born. Fireworks was dead the moment they bought it. PS always was shite for UIs. AI was good, but Sketch crushed it. XD is a bad joke. Adobe is utterly hopeless at this. I can’t see Figma carrying its momentum for more than 5 years. So of course there’s a lot of negativity in here.

> Installing CC immediately cripples your machine and it can’t ever be uninstalled. Yeah, it sucks, I get why people don't like it, but I've also never had a machine "crippled" by CC. > You can’t cancel your Adobe subscription without sacrificing your first born. It's a nightmare to cancel a lot of subscriptions. The Amazon Prime cancelation process is hilariously obstructive. > Fireworks was dead the moment they bought it. Yeah, that was a shame. I used to like Fireworks. It also felt like a product without a good market fit to me though. > PS always was shite for UIs. It's called "photo"shop for a reason. I don't think they optimise Photoshop for UI design. It's absolutely great for photo editing. > AI was good, but Sketch crushed it. I guess there is where I don't have enough experience to comment. I still use AI, but my graphic design friends do seem to prefer Sketch these days. > XD is a bad joke. Adobe is utterly hopeless at this. I can’t see Figma carrying its momentum for more than 5 years. Fair enough. I guess I just don't see all Adobe software as terrible and I'd argue lot of it is pretty good or at least competitive with competitor products on the market. My main issue with them is the bloat. Unless you need several CC applications you're often better going with something else because of all the crap they'll install in addition to the one application you need. I guess as an example here, 5 years ago I used to use Notepad++ to write JS, then I used Atom, now I use VSCode. Things change quickly in the tech. The fact that Adobe products fail really isn't all that surprising. Is there any software you used 15+ years ago that you still use today? I think the difference with Adobe is that people attach their brand to those product failures and say, well if `x` failed why won't `y`? But I don't think it's entirely Adobe's fault, it's more a result of them operating in a very competitive space where things are changing quickly.
