Well, Adobe has no real competition

Oh, I agree, and that makes it worse!

I definitely think that Adobe has the best products in the segments (and price range) that they're in, and they work very well, but the interface is just horrible to me. I mean, every single time I start Premiere, I have to go through 3 drop-down menus to tell the program to preview my project from RAM instead of from disk. That just shouldn't be. If there's a permanent setting, it should be easier to find!

Anyway, I just hate using them. I use programs that work best for me on the level I need to use them, and Paint Shop Pro has Photoshop totally beat at the very basic level I'm using it.
