Nice site! There’s a lot of things that Adobe needs to fix in pretty much all of their apps. I hope Adobe makes this their official way to listen to customers.

I like the “inaccurate” button. I just found an InDesign gripe asking, “Why doesn’t ID have align/distribute buttons like Illustrator does?” Yikes!!!

Sadly, I was not impressed with the site. It looks more like some unorganized rants rather than intelligent requests. I’m not saying that there aren’t some good questions there, but overall, I was turned off by either things that don’t make any sense or things that aren’t in any way shape or form helpful to Adobe.

Meaning that a comment like “make Illustrator suck less” isn’t feedback that the folks at Adobe can use. But a comment like “make Illustrator’s dashed stroke feature work like InDesign so that the corners line up nicely” is descriptive, clear, and helpful.

Yes, I read Nack’s blog, so I’ve seen this site, and even posted a gripe of my own. But what caught my eye here, Anne-Marie, was the pull quote you had about there being no grayscale color management in InDesign! Bingo, that explains some odd, annoying things I’ve seen on my systems, which I’ve thought was probably my fault. So this is really the case? If so, yes, it’s on my wishlist for CS4 for sure.

Really nice idea, it will give Adobe the feedback, if they read it, and it looks like they are.

Flicked through some gripes there, some fairly valid, a lot very inaccurate, in my opinion.

I agree with the pricing, especially the comment of Photoshop costing the same as a small car, brilliant comparison.

Some of the top 50 are quite the same too, bloated prices, bloated software, bloated downloads etc, bloated file sizes for pdf readers.

Nobody hitting the hard issues? Like spanning columns for footnotes in Indesign.
