I'm sorry, but am I the only one who finds Adobe's Mac products agitating? There's a certain philosophy and culture that Mac Apps adhere to use that's different from Windows, and Adobe just seems to treat Macs like they're Windows machines. I feel like Adobe is basically like "F*ck your culture and the way you do things, we're just going to make pure Windows ports." They don't care about the way almost every company designs Mac Apps. It's like they don't understand macOS at all, and are living in a Windows World.
I stopped using Photoshop and Illustrator altogether for this reason and changed it out for the (much better, imo) Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer.
Example: Every mac app in existence supports native full screen mode. This has been true since about 2015.
Adobe products? Why would they bother to spend an extra 10 minutes adding support for one of macOS's useful features.
Why not? Because 'F*ck You,' that's why.
Not only that, but every time you install an Adobe product, it spams your Application folder with a bunch of irrelevant bullshit. Like this type of behavior might be okay on Windows, but Mac users F*cking hate it. Note how Adobe is the only App that spams the living F*ck out of your Applications folder. No other mac app do that. It's absolutely incredibly.
This may not seem like a big deal, but it also spams your launchpad with like a dozen apps.
And this? There's literally no excuse for the shear laziness of Adobe here. Is it seriously that hard to choose a title that actually fits on the screen of Macs?
Adobe is supposed to be the premier Graphic Design suite, and they can't even design their own shit right. This is why I'm slowly eliminating all Adobe products from my life, aside from the ones where there's no viable alternative (ie After Effects.) And even those are gone as soon as I have a chance.
