It seems like you're saying CS is overpriced, but it's not clear how that's relevant.



I guess you would think that if you only read the title of the HN article and the part pertaining to the iPhone capabilities. I was commenting on the hype surrounding CS that Adobe is perpetuating in that blog entry.


Still, your post was essentially "CS is overpriced", but more verbose. If you have some analysis of their pricing (and why it might be wrong), share it, but to just state your personal opinion like that is kind of pointless.


When is a valid opinion considered distasteful? They hardly mention ANY of the features that are new in CS5 and yet they are putting out a new product and hyping it up considerably (e.g. "In 3 short days, we will be launching what is arguably the most compelling release of Creative Suite to date. I don't want to spoil any surprises, but I feel this release is going to thrill designers and developers."). Maybe it will be great, but I've had buggy/dodgy experiences with all of the CS products through the years (non-hardware related), and pretty much all of them stay broken until they put out a major release.

For example, Dreamweaver has 0 FTP threading capability. Also in Dreamweaver, you cannot drag-and-drop files to upload to the remote site. Dreamweaver also has some trouble when you drag-and-drop files to the local site with putting it in the right folder. There are just a ton of things I "put up with" when I have no viable option but to use them.


Not distasteful, but lacking information. People around here are very sensitive about the signal to noise ratio. (FWIW, I didn't downvote you.)

This latest post has a little more effort put into it, and I think it probably would have fared better.
