I agree.  Don't be taken in by the supposed improvements and sparkly new features in a brand-new version.

A new release always 1) has incomprehensible bugs and 2) breaks things that used to work flawlessly.

Why do you think they refer to a CC subscription as membership in the Adobe Unpaid Beta Tester Program?

Stick with something that works.  Screw the new features.

And that is the reason to go back to AE 2018 and use it untill Adobe fix those bugs.
