BUG ridden Photoshop CC is acceptable?

Question

I add location data, keywords and descriptions among other things to my files in Bridge CC.  Often the movie files (.mov) don't accept the data for unknown reasons.  Opened in CC and now 52 movies of hundreds in a folder show no metadata and. I go to CS6 Bridge and am able to add all those things, so they are like the rest.  Back in CC now 3 have no keywords. 28 no description. Purge cache and all but 3 Hermit Thrushes lack keywords. Add descriptions to all but Hermit Thrushes which wouldn't show any data before. Added location metadata. Add keywords and that disappears and no metadata again. Oh and now I see that the data under the thumbs is gone (number, date, size.)  I go back to CS6 and now those 3 Hermit Thrushes lack the data, but I'm able to put back.  All have the data under the thumbs.  Going back to CC, finally all movies have the data.  But not the 3 things under the thumbs that are set in preferences.  Am I the only one that this happens to on a regular basis, or others just to not care forever paying more while getting less?  I can't even figure the amount of time my workload has increased, far more than doubled, tripled, quadrupled, quintupled, all because I bought a camera that CS6 doesn't recognize. The policy is, if it works, break it,

As far as the missing data underneath the thumbnails, here's the setting for that (bottom right corner of Bridge's window):

I have to add that this is about the dumbest place to put this option I can think of but here it is. IF this is checked, all you see are the thumbnails, if you want to see the name, etc., uncheck this. You'll note that mine is unchecked.

Let me add that as one who's used DNG format ever since it was introduced, I have to say that if there was any deterioration of the image in DNG images I never would have used that format.

I am aware that sometimes some camera manufacturers have some part of the image's code that has other dynamics other than the image (sorry I cannot remember what camera or what these dynamics are at this moment) that some people find very important and because of that will not convert their images to DNG. However, since this extra information has nothing to do with the image, I've not found it something that I need to worry about.

You can covert your new camera files to .dng to work with CS 6
