CC 2019 Apps Rubbish

It has become a dark day at my house when a Microsoft program, is by far more stable than an Adobe program on my MAC! I have been using adobe products since the early 90's. I still have the Photoshop 2.5.1 DVD and box proudly on my bookshelf in my office. But this year I have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars having MAC IT guys come out to my home to try and fix these issues, now I know that was just money down the toilet and the root of the problems are in CC. I don't even want to calculate the cost of lost HOURS of work time watching the rainbow spring wheel of death. And we all get to pay Adobe monthly for this "privilege?"

Dear Adobe, this might be the beginning of the end for you if things don't change. This is how you took over QuarkExpress market share and i'm sure there is another young software company out there just waiting for their chance. Just sayin'...

I use Illustrator and Photoshop alot in Win 10 and they regularly crash or freeze  or something doesn't work on them and they are also slow. Adobe has been in business for many years and all of these kinds of problems should have been sorted out by now in all of their programs. It seems to me that adobe doesn't want to do anything to improve these aspects of performance on their apps. I am considering changing to another graphics software app.

This is just ridiculous! Every new update is just making everything slower and buggier. Illustrator 2019 after new update is piece of junk. Until now I always kept the new version with some stability issues and lagging. But now? Not possible anymore. Some old bugs fixed in previous versions are now back with new friends! Cant even copy and paste correctly, everything is so damn slow. Have this version on 5 computers and going back on each station.

Adobe, please either stop with this open beta testing, or mark your new version as Not-Safe-For-Work and let us know when you are all set to go. This is not some SW playground. We are paying a lot of money every year for these misfires.

I agree this has to be the worst upgrade that Adobe has ever put out. Way too many bugs in InDesign, Photoshop & Illustrator. After attending AdobeMax our in-house department was so excited to use the new features. What a complete waste of time and energy that was. So many bugs and problems in the new versions we had to go back to the old versions. Here we are 5-6 months later and Adobe still hasn't fixed all the bugs.

The incredible stupidity of changing the undo key arrangement in PS, when it worked well for people for 20+ years is plain mind boggling.

I'm confused here... The undo key (CMD+Z) hasn't changed, at least not for me? Are you referring to the ability in 2019 to undo more than 1-step? I found this addition extremely welcome and handy. As well as fairly common in most software... Please correct me if I've misunderstood. Cheers!

And there is still scaling case which is a proven that no one at Adobe now have any control over the development. What is ridiculous, even if they changed known for ages undo shortcuts they left option to bring back old behavior. By other side, they changed scaling with all inconsistency with other apps and confusing scaling layers/vectors, they didn't give any option for users to choose which they prefer. And it is more mind-blowing, when you find it is quite simple hack with a simple text file to override it, so it could buy for ex. Simply tick the option. But no, this is something that Adobe considers not suitable for users. It seems like two (or more) different teams made changes without any supervision for consistency and logic integrity. I suppose that is like working in Adobe looks now.

My sad conclusion is that, Adobe isn't any more for users. They are so big, that they don't have to do anything for users, because they know, especially that big companies buy it only because of everything they have done in Adobe so no one is interested in making such big changes.

But luckily for single users, there are now much better alternatives. Not only that they listen to the community, but more friendly pricing models. Buying cheaper only what you need, not forcing to buy whole apps even if you don't need it, but it is still more profitable than buying 3 single apps you need.

For quite few years I watched people being frustrated with Adobe, but they still fear to change the workflow, file compatibilities etc. so they stick with Adobe. Only that they had to, not they want. But the scale of last adobe annoying and frustrated changes is so big, that I notice people more often agree for some troubles at beginning with new software, just to leave at lest Adobe.

it's so bad - "programmers" and managers who've never used the app other than to do a demo for some other clowns changing the user interface

ridiculous

Same issues here.... maybe there is enough compelling evidence that a lot of long time users are not happy!

I am so frustrated with the amount of time I am wasting. I have NEVER had issues like this before with previous versions!!!

I am having the same issue with the latest update of cc 2019.  The original version of Ps CC19 worked great.  I don't know WHAT they did but my software is acting ALL CRAZY.  SUUUUUPER SLOW.  I can't even use it.  Nothing responds, everything takes FOREVER to stick. [inappropriate language removed by moderator] Adobe?  I will SERIOUSLY be calling you tomorrow.  I am [inappropriate language removed by moderator]!

Came looking for an explanation why this update is such @#$@$.

Indesign is almost unusably slow.

Way to go Adobe - you should be proud of your work. /s
