I would never consider my use of a
product, and success, as something owed to a company... Also I have used Photoshop since 6, so not far behind ya, though I did dabble with Photoshop on my dads friends machine but I was so young I hardly remember other than being told I filled his hard drive with images and caused a crash when he did something. Lol
And what you are saying... is a complaint, so I'm not sure why you're dodging there. Lol. That's inherent. Other people are allowed to agree, and add their bits. CC suite is so reliant on online features, and blogging down an old framework (for the managers) that, like you said, it's very complicated, prone to bugs, crashes, and weird errors, like plugins suddenly no longer compatible even though you've used it forever, and it has never changed.
We already saw this coming in topics a year or so back about Adobe taking over, and all that.
Also just for the lols
