It definitely feels like there's a lot of Adobe side excuses being made - (UI font size issue)

I think Adobe underestimated the amount of users that used the (internal engineering tools) to change font size.

Passive whatever? Weird comment, to me. But again, everyone is always different.

And none of us is "everyone". What about that is passive aggressive is beyond me.

One thing I am painfully aware of that many others don't seem to be ... we are each one users out of several million daily users.

And every other user ... every other user! ... works very differently than we do.

Many of those several million for instance clearly love most of the new options, and would heartedly disagree with labeling them wasted effort. Including the UI changes.

When they mangled the UI colors back during 24,x, a Facebook pro editors group I'm on was as incensed as many on this board. Several of the other old curmudgeons went to the new schema options for like Vibrant and whatever, just to prove how awful everything about that design change was.

But instead ended up posting that they loved the new options. What? Yep.

I've got a long, long list of things in color, and a few in graphics, that would really up Premiere's capabilities. The devs even agree with me.

But ... they also point out, that maybe 0.2% of the user base would ever notice, let alone use them. So ... ain't gonna happen.

What ticks me off is they're probably right on that. So my beloved, beautiful requests, will languish forever.

It does keep me at least somewhat humble, I suppose. But jeepers, not one other users sees this app like I do ... huh.

If you'll look at the latest Premiere bug reports you'll see a variety of issues associated with the release of 25.0, including, inexplicably, the sudden inability to import native PSD files. Some of these issues are marked "Fixed" in 25.1, but no ETA on its release. More evidence 25.0 was released prematurely. 

Sadly, the sudden loss of Premiere's font size workaround is not considered a bug because it was never officially a feature in the first place.

That was clearly a specific response to a different user, which had in parts very little to do with the very solid point OF the OP's original post.

What I was objecting to, didn't. Read the whole thread. 

"Making comments about a variety of things can really weaken your main point, if the other comments are well ... not solid, perhaps."

The title of the OP states the issue while everything else contributes to keeping the OP "alive." Adobe knows precisely what the issue is; they've just chosen not to address it.
