This is not how it has always been. The quality of Adobe products has gone down over the last few versions. CS4 is the worst.
Photoshop has an incredible number of bugs. So many that it is almost unusable. It occasionally crashes while trying to save a file, which is the worst user experience infraction possible.
I hope they fix this crap. It's getting more bloated every revision, and their UI is becoming more and more bizarre with each revision (why did they hack OS X to put window resizers on all four sides? It just makes it impossible to click behind Photoshop).
- neovive 18y agoI think Adobe realizes this and going forward is going to have to make some changes. They are in the midst of transitioning from a desktop software company to a platform provider (Flash Platform, PDF and Flex) and are still integrating the wide range of apps that they have purchased over the years. Unfortunately, at this point, it would be hard for them to justify completely rewriting their core apps and possibly miss future releases (e.g. CS5) which is a major part of their earnings. At some point, their new online apps and Eclipse-based products will mature and they will slowly begin to fix (or trim) things on the desktop side. Hopefully, this comes sooner rather than later.
- joe_the_user 18y agoI have always had a serious problem with Adobe's UI style in Adobe app I have ever tried. Corel graphics applications seem so much intuitive that I feel they give a measurable increase in productivity. Too bad they are generally not accepted for professional work.
- access_denied 18y agoYeah, I started out with Corel Draw! 3. What an app! I loved it. Pitty the Mac versions were crashy beyond insanity. I would have re-switched otherwise.
