Why do Adobe's products get worse every new version or update?

I have to say, i hold myself partly to blame at my frustration with Adobe, I should have cancelled my subscription and moved to Affinity but unfortunately i was somewhat consumed by a project, and dependent on more than one machine in more than one location.

I don't think it's just me who finds that Adobe have decided that, since we are now stuck with cloud, they do not have to fully develop their applications, as they can forward updates. This is such a ridiculous situation, I have been using adobe products for about 28 years, and for the last 5 or 6 they have been getting worse and worse, 2019 is probably the worst yet, apart from obvious mistakes, like deciding to change the basic methods for moving or scaling objects, something that has been established for 25 years+, and for no apparently good reason, (I will focus on the move/bounding box and centre point in Illustrator later) They have also managed to create the added feature that you have to restart your app if you are using a brush of any discription and find yourself interrupted by n email, on return, i consistantly find that my brush has stopped working, originally a quick save or swap of documents would revive it, but now... nothinng, just a piece of absolutely crap software that we are forced to pay for monthly with no way out of a disgusting capitalist trap...

I am totally gutted that i have been forced to renew my subscription and will use this year to familia`rise myself with Affinity software, because I AM SOOOO DISGUSTED AT ADOBE.

I Could continue on photoshop for longer, but I also want to discuss Illustrator, an application i have been using since Illustrator 88. The new methods of manipulating simple obljects has become a game of shooting ducks with a bent rifle.

If these were newly developed applications i would be completely prepared to accept teething problems, but we are talking about software that has become such an industry standard it is almost a monoply. And this is where the problem lies, adobe do have a vast share on the dtp/design/editing software market, this control means that they have less and less interest in the realities for customers, they get to force everyone to accept cloud, by withdrawing the option of buying the applications you actually need and instead price their products so, you are offered 80% of the applications you will never use, while making the three apps you would use be more expencsive than taking the full set.

I am not speaking as a novice designer, in fact I'm sure if i was a novice i would just imagine that over time Adobe will improve their products, but as a designer and illustrator with 30 years experience, mostly involving computers, though Adobe's dysfunctionality has been leading me to work more and more without the computer, what i can inform the novice designer is that Adobe Illustrator CS6 was their most reliable and functional version, yes they have added a few nice features in later versions, but at the complete sacrifce of some of the most basic and simple operations.

I really cannot get my head around how they have decided to make the bounding box work with the regular and single select cursors. I can spend 10-20 attempts to pick up a smallish object to move it fractionally, because each time i get near the point i want to pick the object up with, Illustrator will suddenly decide that i want to rotate the boject... it's BLEEP, I am happy to point anyone at y website so you can see the kind of work i do, I am not a botch artist, in fact i involve myself with details most people would never even notice [[link removed by moderator] for anyone interested).

I have better things to do than continue writing this for now, but i will be investing, (I get to keep it!) copies of the Affinty desktop software, and i will share my experiences.@ !
