Right, that's that point. Why does Photoshop take so long to start up and be usable even on incredibly powerful hardware?

It's hard to find an excuse, considering:

- Adobe has vast resources

- Photoshop is a mature piece of software

- It's image editing, not a complex video game (look at what something like Red Dead Redemption 2 can accomplish with every frame, @ 60FPS)

I would argue that it’s because of vast resources.

Both Adobe’s, and their customers.

At a certain level, when a graphic designer complains that Photoshop is too slow, they don’t push back against Adobe for optimizing poorly, they just buy a new computer.
