CS4 looms; my favourite quotes from “dear adobe”

24th of Sep, 2008ce* in: blog, ideas

With the imminent release of CS4, I take a look at the funny side of the long requested features from users of Adobe products.

Recently I found Dear Adobe. It was such a relief to find that there are literally thousands of other disgruntled creatives that work in the print and web industry that have also found this site - posing questions to adobe. Whether Adobe reads and acts upon these requests is another thing. Here are some of the funny gems:

Photoshop

- “Why does Photoshop cost as much as a pre-owned small car? Drop the price please!!”

Dreamweaver

- “Why do you build programs (Dreamweaver) based on JavaScript, which run slower than my grandmother?”

Flash

- “Yes, please support SVG in Flash player - or better yet accept the fact that open standards are the way of the future.”

Illustrator

- “I’ve been sitting here for the last 5 mins looking through all the bitching and that spinning ball of death is still going for no reason in Illustrator. ”

InDesign

- “Why can’t I Hide InDesign? I just wont go away… ”

Bridge

- “Destroy Bridge, it’s completely useless”

My only real request was tabs for all applications, which they are doing! Isometric grids for illustrator would be nice but I really don’t see it happening any time this decade.

I think people who complain about the price should take a personal stance against digital piracy. With more and more people unabashedly pirating software, we can only expect the price to increase as the market of paying customers diminishes. Discourage your friends and family from digital piracy. Ultimately it hurts us all.
