Just tried the 7 day free trial of Photoshop and deleted it like 10 minutes later because it was so awful. Here are some highlights:

  1. AI, so much AI.
  2. Advertising, so much advertising.
  3. Why yes we steal your data.
  4. $40 a month for the cheapest option.
  5. "If you cancel your subscription you will no longer be able to use Photoshop. No, there is no way to own the product outright.
  6. Why yes we will include a bunch of programs and cloud services that you don’t want and will never use. No, there is no plan that is just Photoshop.
  7. Sign in to your Adobe account to uninstall.

    Literally all my college professors struggle with Adobe’s PDF reader since it bombards you with pop-ups and terrible UI design. It’s depressing to watch.

      I had to download Acrobat in order to use a proprietary feature a couple months ago. The process to start a free trial, download the creative suite installer, run the installer, open the suite, find Acrobat, download Acrobat, figure out how where the proprietary tool was, figure out how to use the tool, and finally, uninstall it all — it took me like 30 minutes. And I consider myself good with computer.

      Adobe is beyond bad. It’s a farce
