Re:Security Flaws in Adobe Acrobat Reader Allow Gaining Root... by BolexNOLA on Thursday May 14, 2020 @11:08PM (#23188430)
As someone who works in film production I am so done with adobe creative cloud. I use FCPX because I can’t stand how inefficient adobe is on a Mac. It grinds your processor for no reason and renders at half the speed it should. After effects is way better than Motion but it’s just not worth it. I spent $300 in 2011 and FCPX has been flawless (well...after they fixed that first year or so of problems haha). With FCPX having a one time payment and davinci resolve being free, I just can’t justify adobe’s relatively expensive monthly payments when it’s so inefficient and insecure. And the updates! Jesus christ.

Years ago (pre cloud - master collection) I was on Windows and made the switch to Mac with a written guarantee that the apps (I used Flash a lot) would have the same functionality. It turns out that the ability to zoom in with the mouse was crippled and they removed .eps output ability. They continuously removed output formats (eg at least FXG allowed some format interchange until it too was taken away). So, workflows had to be abandoned.
