Mordy, true, you want an engineer to turn the brief into something that can be built. But, you need direction from the application designer, who, like other designers will have taken on board market needs. But marketing should be keeping their mitts firmly off. Making their own jobs easier by bending the designer's ear is suicide, as is corportate hive thinking on design... one person, one job, one tree. You don't get corporate sponsors designing the cockpit of an Indy car.

As Mark has said, the development of PS has had many question the actual real world experience the development team actually has. I guess the more you get sucked into the machine, the less you can sit on the bleeding edge of the professions. We are all aware of how corporations work (or don't, more live live)...

Lets face it, if Adobe had some serious competition, this conversation would be something that definately shouldn't be happening, unless it's really terminal. I think that says a lot.

The state of PS is probably a reflection of the possible efficiency of corporate development... but macdonalds isn't a good burger either... biggest isn't best, it's just biggest.

We'll be fed the rhetoric until something actually changes, and people will winge about it, and the grumpy disconnected with winge about that, and each version will become more entangled whilst people get promotions until they leave.

And i'll still moan about a product that has had a point release and still has a gaping bug in the basic crop tool.

But at least it has 3d.
