I'm reminded of the time I tried Lightroom around the time Apple announced that Aperture was being discontinued. It was unusably slow on the laptop I was using at the time — which was impressive given that Aperture had been perfectly usable — and I had to spend 20 minutes telling their support rep that I wasn't going to buy a new computer just to run Creative Cloud.
Photoshop was a great tool but they've spent years burning the boats moving away from the “bicycle for the mind”-era feeling which got them fans 20+ years ago.
