> Creative Cloud … all subscriptions and getting better all the time.

I may be an atypical user—I'm definitely sub-power user in this domain—but everything Adobe has got worse for me since moving to "Creative Cloud".

Opposite. I'm an infra-power user that uses AI once every two months, and I like the experience. Can't tell how it is for power users though. Maybe they hate it.

Fair enough. I didn't mean to claim that everyone had a negative experience, just that it was far from a one-sided thing where these apps could be said unambiguously to improve. ("In summary, Adobe Creative Cloud is a land of contrasts.")

I use Creative Cloud as well, but I've found with auto-update you get random unexpected bugs. I disable it, I kill their background processes if I notice them, and occasionally I'll let it update things if I know a new version has something I want.
