Why is Adobe slowly ruining its own programs with each update, and still charging top dollar for broken software?

Genuinely, I am baffled.

How Adobe can charge over $100 per month for software like Premiere Pro; that can’t handle simple things like title generations or MOGRT properties - yet Da Vinci Resolve is FREE and handles animation beautifully. 

I want to stay loyal as an Adobe user of over 15 years, but at this point we’re all being screwed over. I can’t pretend it’s alright anymore. I’ve stopped recommending Adobe, and as of next month we will be removing all Adobe subscriptions from our offices and moving onto better options. 

We are expecting to double our speed of workflow, purely by abandoning Adobe products. 

We’re paying premium prices for half-par software, that is WORSE than FREE amateur created softwares.

It’s time everybody woke up to this blatant rip-off called Adobe.

    Sorry you're hitting friction with the app, that's frustrating when you're trying to get work done. To help narrow this down, could you share the specific issues you're seeing with title generation and MOGRT properties?

    The captioning workflow is just pathetic. They might as well not have it, frankly. I only use Premiere because the company I'm contracted to uses it, otherwise I'd cancel my sub. My last company (major TV production company) scaled the enterprise license right back because it's just nowhere near good enough Vs resolve and media composer

    I think most of us aren’t having that issue, and it would be maddening for sure. So I’m with Paul … give us specifics and see if the very experienced users here can help get you sorted.

    Everyone's mileage always varies ...

    Neil please get a hobby beyond spending all day in this forum disagreeing with anyone who criticised your beloved Adobe

    He's criticising the entire workflow, which is absolute trash. I don't think he wants help from users, he wants Adobe to have a captioning workflow that isn't 10 years behind
