Has anyone here used the Adobe CS2 suit extensively? Is Adobe trying to fail? Photoshop CS2 is OK. No worse no better, pretty much the same as CS1. GoLive CS2 is completely unusable. On a dual 1.8 G5 with over a GB of RAM, it takes several seconds to open and even close a document, and thats closing a document without saving. Its horrible. I couldn't even use it, so I had to toss it and revert to GoLive CS1. Then I just tried to whip up a document in InDesign CS2, its so buggy, my artwork was disappearing right off my page. Horrible Horrible app. So again I'm back to InDesign CS1. I'm probably one of the few people that use all of the apps in the Creative Suite, and I gotta tell you every single Adobe upgrade is a downgrade, but this last one is the worst so far. Adobe needs to take a lead from apple and instead of just focusing on cramming new features in there, take some time to make the App do what it already does, better. Adobe apps are about the slowest apps out there. They are at a position where, it would be very easy for even an open source suite to come along and totally dethrone Adobe. It seems like Photoshop is the only app they even remotely try on, and all the other apps are their crappy free gifts for buying PS.

Hmmm. I don't quite know about that. I've been using it for 4 days and no problems at all. In fact InDesign is SO much better than CS1 you wonder why it took them this long.
I'm not going to get into the argument of 'Your system must be broken' because I do know that occassionally Adobe apps can make a right mess of your system, but for me I'm a happy camper with the CS2 suite so far.
Sorry to hear you've been Adobe'd :/

Sticking with CS1 here. Haven't seen anything new that's compelling me to upgrade.

I'm about to get the Photoshop CS2 upgrade on my dual G4 w/Tiger on it. What I read, CS2 works best on Tiger. I have never tried CS1 tho.
