"Macromedia Deserves What They Got Today "

"I'm a long time Macromedia Director user, currently working with 8.5. When MX came out and they were pushing me to upgrade, my first reaction was "you've got to me kidding me". Their whole focus was on the bells and whistle stuff of Flash and Shockwave while ignoring growing and painful user issues with the core CD-ROM multimedia audience. I think their intent was to force CD designers to upgrade to Authorware mega-bloatware for over $2K. It sounds like the strategy backfired. This continues a trend I've seen with my multimedia software for the last 5 years. It keeps getting bigger and bloatier, but harder to use and less user friendly. The latest example was Paint Shop Pro. I upgraded from my trusty 4.0 to 8.0. What a disaster! Same thing with Macromedia Home Site 5.0 vs. 4.0. The problem is they KNOW the old software is mature and they can't make it any better. So they stupify the thing with "features" and make it a total PIA for users. "
