I'm afraid I agree, this is a downgrade, no new features on the CC2014 release and to have to have two versions of all my software on my computer, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop is ridiculous.
I eagerly tuned in to hear what Illustrator CC2014 would have that's new and for some strange reason they were touting rounded corners as the killer new feature. that was introduced 6months ago wasn't it? not worth being the flagship reason for staying subscribed. I won't even mention the other two things as they are pointless, can't even remember them they are that good.
The main killer feature that I originally upgraded to CC was for the cloud syncing and this has been completely broken in Illustrator CC2014 as no pre-sets, work spaces, keyboard shortcuts, actions or anything I have been synced and what's more can't be synced as far as I can see so I've got to start from scratch. Nooo Waaay. this was my main feature that I wanted CC for in the first place. I do not want to have to start from scratch with pallet positions and workspaces etc. What is going on here?
Third party plugins deliberately broken so I have to pay all over again. That's the killer feature for me in this Downgrade closely followed by a 6month old feature that used to be covered by one of my plug-ins now introduced as a "new" feature but's not quite as good as the plug in it replaces.
