Bin the Creative Cloud 'App'... yes get rid of it, it's rubbish!

Question

You can improve everything about your products by simply binning the Creative Cloud 'App'. After 3 years of using it I can honestly say I'm totally sick of it, so much so that I'm beginning to question how much I really want to use photoshop anymore. Using creative cloud is like an endurance test.

Today I just wanted to remove a program to free up some disk space, usually a simple action that should only take a few seconds via add & remove programs on my pc, but no that's too simple, first I have to sign in to the stupid creative cloud app, then endure the endless updating of said 'app' before I can finally use it to remove an older version of photoshop and this is over a metered connection. To make it more tedious I then have to spend a further hour editing the registry and faffing around just to remove the even stupider 'creative cloud files' folder from the Windows 10 side bar.

And no I don't want to be permanently signed in to the app nor have it using up system resources or running on start up or in the background.

Adobe, I don't mind paying a monthly subscription but please just get rid of this useless app.

Oh and I forgot to mention that after going through the rigmarole of updating photoshop via the cc app, I then have to waste another hour as every time I launch photoshop it closes after a few seconds, despite being signed in the seriously irritating creative cloud app, eventually I find and delete the SLStore folder in program data, which in turn forces the cc app to sign me in properly so that I can actually run photoshop. I must be a complete masochist to be paying for this software.
