Seething with venom for Adobe's garbage CS4 suite, ignoring of Mac platform

Question

I just purchased a Macbook Pro in November after 15 yrs on
Windows. In all my years, I've never had a fraction of the problems
with Adobe products that I have since I got this Mac. Is Adobe
simply not that INTERESTED in making their products perform well on
the Mac side? I was under the delusion when I crossgraded that Mac
was the preferred platform of designers for good reasons. But since
I spend 100% of my day in some Adobe app or another, I realize that
I am actually LESS efficient (and WAY more angry and frustrated)
because of all the lagginess, bugginess, and unexpected shutdowns.
Does it make more sense to crossgrade BACK to Windows??
Fireworks is so frustratingly buggy that it takes me twice as long
to do anything; Acrobat bombs EVERY TIME I close a file, and
Contribute is a totally unusable piece of garbage now. I have never
been so angry at a software company, and that INCLUDES
Quark!!!!!!

Answer 1

I am 100% with you. Here's a list of problems, many of which should not exist in the first place...
A. Photoshop webshow moved to Bridge, where it simply does not create useable code...this ends a fairly decent webshow that existed INSIDE of photoshop where it BELONGED, and where it actually WORKED.
B. Premiere does NOT export QT HD files. SD yes, HD forget it. This seems to be something Adobe wont pay Apple for, so...Premiere also has NO autodetect of scenes, miniscule amount of transitions and effects (someone devoted an entire post to the difference between the mac and PC versions)and a mind-bogglingly terrible file management system that would ruin everything even if the other problems didnt exist.
C. Encore has the worst most dated DVD templates, takes a lfietime to encode, and then crashes when its time to burn a DVD. iDVD doesnt have this problem on the same computer, mine. Encore just flat out doesnt work.
D. Five minutes ago, I was trying to export out of After Effects. It tells me it prefers that I render out through the Adobe Media Encoder. I have the composition in the render queue, but it tells me I need something in the queue to render. Classic bozoware again. After Effects was one of the programs I trusted the most, but I am starting to worry, and, frankly, the backgrounds, and included visual effects are nothing compared to Combustion and Motion even if the layer controls are more extensive. They added basically nothing since CS3.
What's most infuriating is that I demoed these as CS3 versions, except Premiere, which I mistakenly thought HAD to be as good as Apple's offerings.
Adobe should be flat out embarassed, and had I discovered this earlier, BH would have given me a refund. I think Adobe should give a free upgrade to CS5 for CS4 purchasers. If I could I would take the money I wasted on this software and run straight to FCS, which I will get to eventually.
D. Flash is the only thing Adobe has that's worthwhile, and they're trying hard to wreck Photoshop. They claim flash CS5 will author for iphone, but I seriously doubt anythign they claim. Adobe is run like its manager ran Fremont real estate, into the ground. It's like the entire company was on vacation and they paid the managers to relabel and screw up CS3. Terrible company. You say anything in the forums and its all your fault.
Funny how Ableton Live, Reason, Arkaos, and all the apple products work fine, but Adobe is the one that fails, and yet its my system's fault. All talk no delivery.
