Adobe Acrobat interface "improvements"

It would be great if Adobe would have an Acrobat option that reflected the wider Creative Cloud suite. Acrobat has always been an odd man out in the Adobeverse, but the past few iterations have become obtuse and non-intuitive even by Adobe's standards. The most irritating aspect is the dramatic changes to the interface as "features" have been added. The Creative Cloud apps (while certainly bloated and complicated) are at least fairly consistent from one version to the next. Those of us who use Creative Cloud apps regularly are likely frequent users of Acrobat. Dealing with one family of Adobe apps is irritating enough. Adding another constantly "improving" program really sucks out what little joy remains when using Adobe products. I recognize there is a large universe of Acrobat users who don't use Creative Clouds apps, so it is unlikely Adobe would apply Cloud's dense GUI to Acrobat. But perhaps they could release a streamlined version that would allow CC users to more easily use Acrobat for the type of tasks engaged in frequently by the professional designers. Ideally, this version would have a GUI that reflected that of the other CC apps.  I would be completely happy if this version stripped out all the "improvements" from the past 10 years (at least).

You can check on the Acrobat Uservoice if such a request already exists and if not you can submit one. If you gather enough votes this is the best way that the Acrobat team is being made aware of your wish.
