Adobe Creative Suite 6 review

Where's the detail?

I laughed when I saw this review. As usual with 'modern' journalism - no detail. Why? they dont know how to use such a large complex suite of software. So we get a re-phrased serve-up of Adobe's press releases.
Yes, you guessed it - CS6 has lots of changes and presumably some new features! What are they?
Additionally .... just what percentage of PC PRO readers and followers do NOT pay VAT? Not many I suspect.

Very Very Lazy Journalism

I've seen some very poor regurgitations of manufacturers press releases being passed of recently in this mag as reviews but this is the worst yet. Looks like I will have to start looking elsewhere for proper reviews

Misunderstanding

Thanks for the comments, but I wonder if you both missed the links in the middle of this review? You'll find full reviews of each package, complete with all the details. This is merely an overall summary, a review "homepage" if you like.

Adobe failing web developers

Although I appreciate the compensatory 'gift' of InDesign included in the upgrade price, it will probably go largely unopened as I do not do very much print work these days.

Adobe has abandoned its core Flash following (mainly by dustbin-consignment of Flash on mobile devices). So what do they really have for web developers?

FlashBuilder is going to be re-licenced and only the very hard-core developers will herd themselves onto the Stage3d cattle truck. I love them dearly, but I think that they won't get much traction. Catalyst is gone.

Not Adobe Edge for sure. Is html 5 too nascent and browser-faddy for CS-6? I think that for web developers this release is just another x.5.

The answer is that Adobe are lazy, too top-down and unimaginative.
