![]() Personally, I just find this translates to "why am I paying for all of this software I NEVER use?", but I know some folks feel it's 'good value for money'. Then there's the 'Adobe Shovelware Buffet', where they insist on throwing even more buggy, bloated, legacy software at you (Premiere, After Effects/C4D Lite, Animate nee Flash, Bridge, numerous iPad apps of varying quality and lifecycles, etc) in an attempt to sweeten their subscription deal. They are generally useable, and I know the bugs that affect my workflow(s)-but my frustration with the ever decreasing quality of the software releases from Adobe just keeps growing. Illustrator and InDesign are the devils I know, with InDesign being the plucky newcomer all those years ago that finally allowed me to leave PageMaker and Quark behind. Photoshop for me is unusable on my 2020 13" i7/32GB MacBook Pro connected to a 4K display-the redraw lag is painfully NOT anywhere close to real-time, and it's been this way for YEARS (since the first 4K displays came to market ~2016(?)). ![]() My biggest issue with Adobe wasn't the subscription cost (the annual cost it pays for itself in days if you're using it professionally), but the ever increasing bloat and bug count that has accrued due to years of neglect and technical debt (which are all completely normal with 'legacy' software). I haven't fully switched from Adobe to Affinity (yet) as I recently renewed my Creative Cloud subscription for yet another year.įor me, I've never really like Adobe as a company (preferring Macromedia Freehand, Fireworks, etc before Adobe killed them) and only used Adobe software because there was literally no other choice. ![]()
