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.
