You are right, i should have written 2 decades instead of 3. Sorry for getting carried away.

Content aware fill is very recent and really cool.
What features are you looking for? If anything, I feel like they’re bloating Photoshop with features.
Last year they added the Object Selection Tool which I’ve found incredibly useful and innovative. However this year they are adding a ton of fluff, such as a FaceApp clone that creates (imo horrible) ML edit renders on their servers.

I would much rather want a serious refactoring rather than a single feature. Python integration is nice in any image processing application but would make little sense with the current state of PS.
Proper HDR workflow is needed but to be honest i stopped caring. The only reason i still spend time with PS is clients providing psds.
I guess if you're using it as a Windows Paint substitute? Otherwise, here are a few things the version available three decades ago didn't have:
CMYK support, 16-bits-per-channel support, Layers, Adjustments, Actions, Freeform Transform, PNG support, Editable Type, Magnetic Lasso and Pen, Freeform Pen, Multiple Undo, Layer Effects, Save For Web, Vector Shapes, Vector Text, Healing Brush, Spell Check, Camera RAW.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop#Version_histor... for more highlights.

The macOS/Windows mix was already ~50/50 way back in the 2000s. It's likely that the Creative Cloud audience is far more heavily skewed toward Windows today.
