A new install\/update process that doesn&#8217;t feel like Adobe is rewriting every line of code on my entire hard drive.

A new codebase that doesn&#8217;t feel like it&#8217;s chewing up every last bit of processing power on my new enough 2.4 GHz iMac with maxxed out RAM.  Unless Adobe has signed my machine up as a node in the <a href=\"http:\/\/setiathome.berkeley.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">SETI project<\/a> without telling me, I don&#8217;t understand why something as simple as the Save-To-Web command should invoke ten seconds of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Spinning_wait_cursor\" target=\"_blank\">beachballs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>3.

But I hope I&#8217;m wrong.  My opinion is that over the last few years, Adobe Creative Suite has become the Microsoft Office for right-brained people.  They simply ran out of really useful things that people needed so they just piled on things people didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I&#8217;m about one more disappointing release away from giving something like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pixelmator.com\" target=\"_blank\">Pixelmator<\/a> a shot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So word came out today that apparently Adobe Creative Suite 4 is right around the corner.
