Photoshop gets worse and worse.

I really do not like your product team's decision making.

This UI is so clunky, it's so "over reactive".

So irritated.

Same But its everything that they change. Its as if the people that make these changes to PS isnt graphic designers.

Listen ive been a graphic design since 1999, what makes me a fast worker and super professional is that I can do things really quick in my programs. They change things around, add all this extras that gets in the way. with each update i am slower and slower with my projects. for example my quick keys like the main move tool. Now every time I click "V" it toggles my tool to the Artboard tool which I never need that tool and I always have to stop what I am doing and toggle back 100 times per project. DEAR ADOBE: stop trying to fix what isnt broke and changing the programs every single time.

Its almost as if they got 20 year olds re writing the main programs I use to make a living. It is the MOST frustrating. To the point that it makes me want to change my profession.

There are a few options for fixing that dilemma.

Preferences > Tools checkmark "Use Shift key for Tool Switch". That stops a "key bounce" from switching the Tool.

Edit > Keyboard shortcuts: Delete or modify the keyboard shortcut for the artboard.

Edit > Toolbar If you don't use Artboards, move the icon into the Extras Tools column. It won't show up in the Toolbar. You can either move or remove other Tools to better improve your workflow.

My guess is that Adobe is meeting the needs of other professionals that use tools you don't, but they do allow you to modify items in the workspace to your workflow.

You didn't give us any detailed information about what bothers you about the UI.

Please decribe more detailed what you mean.

I don't see so much differences between the UI of the recent and former versions.
