I hate illustrator

[jamese48059965]

Simply put: The fact it makes erasing anything a mission and a half shows how much of a ripoff this program actually is. The sheer fact that you expect me to pay for a program when a free trial is hair rippingly awful is straight up hubris on Adobe's part. There's no reason I have to search through twenty videos and a hundred tutorials to FIND and GET the erase tool to work properly.

It's pathetic you ask for a monthly rate on any of your programs when your update do everything to RUIN it and make it extremely difficult and impossible for the consumer. Adobe, like many cynical businesses' in the 2000s, love to "mess" with their paying customer base due to the same defiant quality and distain that most companies have for their cilents.

Not asking for anything idiot proof, but I shouldn't have to go through a stress test EVER to make sure I'm getting my money's worth. Needless to say, I have no respect or pride using your products, nor do I have any (at all) respect for your employees.

Im using shape builder which allows me to  remove some lines, then the eraser which makes a mess and warps things, then scissors which are terrible also. Im trying to remove some straight lines to cut through circles and this programme just makes this very simple task into a nightmare ive wasted a whole day trying to seperate lines off circles, there just is nothing to select the beginning of a cut, then the end and simply remove a line. Shape builder removes some then connects the other lines and cant understand where a line ends, and you cant tell it. I mean i can erase lines of MS paint 1995 easy, its 2025 and Illustrator cant do it

Scissors doesnt let you cut from any corners lol i mean WHY??? Why programme a design sytem that doesnt allow you to cut lines from point a to point b.

MS Paint is a pixel-based image editing program. It doesn't create/edit vector-based objects like Illustrator. Do you understand the difference between pixels and vectors? Editing images based on a grid of pixels is fundamentally different from editing vector-based objects.
