I'm frustrated with how terribly bloated and unwieldly Adobe CC products are. Even when you're not running any Adobe products, there's still a swath of Adobe programs running silently in the background.
First when you install it, it literally shotguns files ALL OVER your hard drive following no Windows standards.
C:\Program Files\Adobe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
C:\ProgramData\Adobe
%AppData%\Local\Adobe
%AppData%\LocalLow\Adobe
%AppData%\Roaming\Adobe
And even when CC isn't even running, there's a pile of Adobe processes running in the background sucking up your clock cycles, including:
Adobe CEF Helper
Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Service
Adobe Genuine Software Service
Adobe Installer
Adobe IPC Broker
Adobe Notification Client
Adobe Update Service
CCLibraries
CCXProcess
CoreSync
Creative Cloud (the tray icon is NOT there, so this is a hidden process)
Creative Cloud Desktop
NodeJS Service Side Javascript

I was just getting ready to post the same thing and followed the wish fullfillment link. CC has such cool resources with an insane cost to my CPU. Everytime I use it, my whole system freezes and I've got the space, no apps open. Then I have to go through and uninstall all the installers and helpers and launch daemons. It's ridiculous. For now, I've uninstalled it for the 5th time and said forget it. Mac Mojave 10.14.6. `16 GB ram, 12 free for adobe apps, macbook pro 2017. Done with CC.
