Sorry about the length of the post. It is what it is and provides an analysis that goes beyond other threads. I don't accept the explanations. Adobe went 100% to the cloud which was beyond a major software revision. They were aware of these issues long before they made that move going back to early 2012. I've discussed this privately with veteran software engineers I personally know. There is simply no reason for this and Adobe may not have considered the issues I bring to light in my post. I would highly suggest everyone read it. I prefer to be thorough and detailed. This post was written for Adobe's Product Managers to read. They need this detail and analysis.
We simply need much better answers than what Adobe has offered so far. We need them to finally push other things down their list and put this on the top of the to do list now.
