Money-driven splash screens pretend to be apps
I have been using Photoshop for 26 years, since 1994, and I have been paying for Adobe CSS every month for 10 years. yet I still have to sign in and input my password and wait for the 6-digit security code and input the code from my phone and then, apparently re-download the app only to see that I need to buy ANOTHER APP- Fresco or Adobe Photoshop Fix or Photoshop Mix or whatever among the 40 plus apps that Adobe pushes without ever allowing me to USE these apps on my desktop or my iPad or my iPhone. I still am shut-out from these apps by purchase screens in spite of the AUTOMATIC- CREDIT CARD DEDUCTIONS THAT HAPPEN EVERY MONTH!
It used to be easy to launch Photoshop and use it. Period. Buy an updated version every two years. NOT NOW. I can never use Photoshop in spite of paying for CSS every month. I am always buffetted with screens that wait for another subscription on top of the CSS subscription that I already pay for every month. Evil shameful Adobe execs that must have their own islands funded on the backs of aspiring artists and retired Photoshop teachers like me who can scarcely afford to continue subscribing to an endless avalanche of new apps that supersede the ones I am already paying for.
Here I am writing this instead of actually making art — typical of what we have learned to accept from these piggy companies.
Maybe you work in an office where someone else takes care of the subscriptions and all you need to do is log on and go. Sweet. So happy for you. For the rest of us, these apps are next to useless. I need to resurrect Photoshop 5.5 and turn off my WiFi now to actually get some work done.

Great fun, using Photo Shop has been a whole new experience.
Great Product
Photoshop always has what I need.
Unintuitive
I don’t dispute that you can do great work with this app, but it is unintuitive and clunky for the simplest tasks, partly because of its confusing interface.
I miss just being able to “photoshop” stuff for fun.
