The new features are very nice, thank you, but I wish you would work on the performance problems, it would be really good. Many people, including me, are waiting for this. No satisfactory answer has been given to us. This negatively affects my perspective on the institutionality of Adobe company...
Please look at how long this problem has existed and it has never been solved...

InDesign is becoming more like Microsoft Word than ever before! Why would anyone want that?
Fix the bugs, stop adding unnecessary features, and give users back control - this is what set you apart from the rest, and made Adobe InDesign the industry standard for years. And now you want to take all the good bits away.

I agree with the comments here.
Adobe seriously and urgently needs to change its priority focus from haphazardly smashing out new features to fixing the performance issues that, in some cases, have existed for years across multiple apps (with InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop being the worst offenders in my opinion).
Adobe needs to get back to a focus on QUALITY over quantity, with a keen eye for detail being a crucial attribute of your developers. It seems that so many documented issues are overlooked in general, which is akin to ignoring your existing loyal customer base in favour of attempting to woo new customers to Adobe, which is a LOSING long-term strategy, becoming especially obvious once you've completely trashed the Adobe brand to the point where nobody trusts using your software and knows that there is little chance any problems will be fixed any time in the near future.
What good are a whole bunch of updates if you haven't fixed many of the existing problems that have been plaguing and frustrating your customers, with lasting financial and reputational ramifications being the effects?
