Delusional? I'm sure you just mean to capture my attention, but you dont have to try like that.
I'm not here to defend Adobe or praise their products. For the last 2 years I have done my best to get rid of them and finally, about a month ago I conceded and payed for the subscription again.
Let me tell you, there is no software (none, 0), that can do half what photoshop can do and is less buggy. That doesn't say, photoshop or any other Adobe product is not buggy and doesn't have issues, it's just a fact there is no competition.
I say that completely confidently and with no delusion anywhere.
Hmm. I was about to wade in on this one but fair enough.
Personally, I’m probably not enough of a power user to need the sort of functionality you do but I said ‘Fuck Adobe’ some years ago and never looked back.
I am, however, still on the hunt for a decent replacement for Aperture.
Good luck. Really, I hope you find something. I'm working on these products for hours daily, I can't afford to use something that will increase that time.
What I don't understand about people who say things like there are alternatives and point to open source software. Like I understand that most people have used nothing but Adobe since forever, but have you even tried using alternatives for actual work? It's a frustrating experience.
Yes! It's just not as good and more importantly, it's not good enough. At first I thought it's because I'm not as familiar, but no, they are just not set up as good as Adobe. That's the bottom line. Why waste time.
