Performance issues with Illustrator and Photoshop on macOS
Long time MAC user since 1990. HATE the new Creative Cloud Crap!! For one, the price is annoying and expensive. For two, they give you few options for purchasing, i.e. it's either one program for 19.99 a month or ALL of them for $52.99. Like most designers, I don't need ALL the programs. That is stupid. For another thing, I have a fairly new Mac, with the faster processor. Rarely had any problems with my old CS6 Illustrator, very rare. Ever since I have gotten on Creative Cloud, it is slower than ever!!! Constant spinning wheel of death, every time I first open the program, click the type tool, or pretty much anything. I am constantly forced to update, however this last update for Illustrator must have had something wrong in it, because now it constantly says it cannot load the calligraphic brush tool .aip plug in! It's all done behind the scenes and I never mess with anything on my own! Just today I absolutely am unable to even use Illustrator as it constantly quits on me. Even when it did work it's slower than molasses. I had to update Photoshop too, so then I had wait and wait and wait for it to finally re-open. I used to LOVE Adobe products and rave about them, and talk people into getting them. Now I tell everyone don't buy it!! They suck!!!! I'm seriously going to look into switching to Corel Draw, no joke. I can't stand these inferior and practically useless products that I am paying $52.99 per month for. I think it's sad, really.
