Why just horizontal or vertical guide lines? why don't you introduce angular guides or perhaps a function like the one in illustratore "make guide" ?

    YES! Or allow snapping to other than guides, like to lines.

    Since the pixel option from the line tool has vanished in PS 2021 (which provided a fast and easy way to create custom/arbitrary "guides") this feature as more needed than ever before ...

    I want to draw a guide at an angle, as shown by the orange line in the screen shot below.  Is there a way to do this?  Thank you.

    Not directly - but you can of course draw guides on an empty layer and then just delete it when you are done

    Years are flying, and Adobe has not yet made diagonal guides in Photoshop. Please Adobe, do it!

        I often have to angle product photos at 45 degrees and it would great if a diagonal guide could be added. It could simply be turned on or off in the preferences allowing for quick editing.

        Joel, I totaly agree to your request. And the weird thing is that Adobe offers such tools already, but only in Adobe Sketch! Why only providing such tool  in e cheap app für Ipad dabbler and not to design-professionals that paid a great deal of money for photoshop?!!
