Oh, Adobe CS4, Cs5 and CS5.5 user interfaces are so horrible I can’t stand them.
Who had the idea of that ugly dark grey??? and a ui that is not consistent with the underlying OS environment?
Oh.. boy! what a terrible idea!

and they still wonder why Adobe Creative Suite sales have been below expectations since CS3…

CS4 user interface is depressing at best.
It’s really the ugliest ui I’ve ever seen on any program!

And CS5… well, CS5 it’s the same crap!

Completely disagree. The CS4 UI (on Windows) is awful. Why doesn’t Adobe use the nice interface provided with Windows which is much more sleek and intuitive (Aero) than the dark UI crap Adobe puts in all their apps. Microsoft provides common controls for applications, DEVELOPPERS SHOULD USE THEM FTW. And where the hell is the Windows frame in Fireworks?!? Let me say that Adobe apps are ugly compared to what Microsoft offers with Aero and the modern 7 UI.

Flash 8 was ok, Then Flash CS3 came. It’s a bit off because there was no real upgrade. It’s a scrambled menus. I prefer the 8 version where you can dock the Properties window at the side. It gives me bigger working space. As a professional animator, I find CS 4 as paralyzing. The Kinematics doesn’t blend well with the cut out animation technique we had developed. Don’t you realized that Flash has become a bad ass animation software??? What were you thinking Adobe people??? I think Adobe should hire me as a consultant so that Adobe will be in the right direction as far as Animation Television Production is concerned. We do 3 D effects in Flash using just the symbols, and I though a 3D capabilities for Flash will be the future of Flash vector animation.

hell no. the CS4 interface is AWFUL. its ugly and locks you into how it wants everything displayed like the newest versions of flash. i hate the auto-resizing of the panels on the left, and how you cant move them to where you want them. and i miss the windows frame! BRING IT THE FUCK BACK ADOBE.
