Right now I make my living by using Adobe products, specifically Flash and Flex. So it's unfortunate that I can't stand Adobe products. Flash CS4 is almost completely unusable. Its performance when editing medium to large flash files is unforgiveable; when I click to select an object, or to edit a symbol, I can wait 10 seconds for the interface to respond. Not acceptable.
What am I gonna do about it? Probably nothing. I only mention it here to record my displeasure, so that I don't forget it, start coping, and forget to be angry about it...that would mean losing a part of my soul--the part that cares about good interface.
The real problem is vendor lock-in. If you had a choice of using something better to create content, it's obvious that you would pay good money for a tool that didn't waste your time. Sadly there are no viable choices.
