Modern Adobe sucks so much fucking dick. Half the UI is now AI bullshit no actual designer is going to touch. Premiere and Media Encoder now use some bullshit Adobe Desktop Audio service which fails half the time so audio is broken and missing on render unless ADA is running. Every program runs like total shit.I have replaced Illustrator and Photoshop with Affinity, Premiere with Kdenlive. Audition with Reaper. The only 2 things I can't get away from is After Effects and Media Encoder, and if I can't run the latest versions without ruining audio rendering, I'm going to get a cracked version and be done with Adobe. Fucking disgusting that Canva owns Affinity now, but modern Adobe is trying to be much worse and anti-designer than the service that attempted to replace designers with the social media girl. Fuck all this gay homo Adobe bullshit.
>>460491Pixelmator Pro is a very good Photoshop alternative, it's gotten better with every release and Apple recently bought them out, Final Cut Pro X is excellent for editing, 90 day free trial, one time purchase no subscription nonsense. There's also DaVinci Resolve and Fusion if you're okay with a node based interface.
>>460491Is not just Adobe, a lot of things have gotten worse 4ch itself for example, and pirating stuff is skyrocketing because everything has subscriptions also vimeo just got adquired 4 days ago and is probably going down too
The designers who you say aren't going to touch the AI buttons are going to just end up running circles around you in 2-3 years if you keep up this attitude.
