I hate how being harsh has become fashionable. What ever happened to manners?

It's like comedians who replace comedy with a heavy use of "fuck", "fucking", "shit", etc. For some of the screenshots, I wasn't sure what the problem and wished he suggested a solution.

Not a defence, but hey, Adobe started it. With their crock-tastic installers, their updating of updated updaters, everything to do with Acrobat and Reader, app bloat, market segmentation gone nuts, rip-off pricing for Europe, vulnerability-inducing setups (like bundling a needless, insecure copy of Opera) and launch times measured in aeons, they've treated their users like dirt for years. That doesn't engender politeness.

  They sure did! Flex is the first truely buggy language and runtime I've ever had the displeasure of working with, and I keep a list similar to this (but far less safe for work). I keep mine private since I don't want my name to be associated with it, but I'm cheering this guy on. I'm focusing my energy in a far more positive way - I'm switching to Haxe, which lets me independent of the Flash tools, and also swap away from Flash Player/swf when a better alternative comes along (it wouldn't be hard to make one, it's sad that their only real competition is from the even less competently made Java for the web).

I don't think it would be anywhere near as funny without such over-the-top profanity. There is clearly plenty of tongue in cheek, and I found the whole thing hilarious. Don't evaluate it as a serious critique but rather as an amusing skit of Adobe's frustratingly clueless UI design. My favourite one is "Nice bug you bunch of bellends".

Hilarity. I got such a kick out of this. Adobe truly is crapping all over the place with their UI. I'm pretty sure it's still Carbon based on OS X. Why can't someone like Adobe with so many apps on Win and OS X spend some time to build a really strong -- or even adopt -- front-end framework. CS4 is utter crap, thankfully I didn't purchase it. CS3 was enough of a let down, and I paid quite a few hundred dollars for that.

I think it's more of the design culture intersecting with the mainstream. E.g. the Bravo Channel Effect :-)
