I boot up my Windows partition to be met with fucking Adobe Acrobat trying to sell me a paid plan. I need to dismiss that pop-up within Acrobat before I can close the whole thing and it looks like Adobe are pumping their content marketing into Acrobat itself.
Who is going to open a PDF then be like, “Okay, I guess I’ll see what Hasan Minhaj has to say about fucking PDFs.” I would need to be super bored at work to do that.
Fuck this shitty company and their bullshit bloated program. Sumatra all the way, the only reason I keep Acrobat around is to sign the occasional PDF
There is no unity between “Adobe’s” product line because Adobe doesn’t make products. Like Autodesk, they buy competitors then fire all the people that made said product. They don’t share work flows or tool patterns because they are all made by completely different people.
I learned Photoshop on PS2. Not Creative Suite 2, Photoshop 2 from 1991. I still use an ancient pirated copy of CS5. I’ve been trying to transition over to Krita, it has some great tools, but holy shit I hate the way they do layers. Maybe I’m just old as fuck.
I really wish there was a free vector suite that was as good as AutoCAD. I despise Illustrator. I can use it, I’m good at it, but only because I had to be. AutoCAD is hands down so much better at vectors than Illustrator. AutoCAD is an Autodesk product though and there are no human words that can adequately describe how much I hate Autodesk.
Many such cases. Even Microsoft Office was a series of acquisitions and their shit still sucks.
By far the worst for me was using Marketing Cloud with Salesforce. It is so poorly integrated and full of zombie features from before the acquisition it might as well be a separate product, not the marketing automation software offered by Salesforce themselves
