I’m >40 and I’ve been using Photoshop since the early versions as a kid. For years I considered it one of the best software products ever made. I even used to laugh at Linux guys using GIMP.

Now karma hit back.

I have a 5090 Ti, 128 GB RAM, 14900K, Windows 11 — and Photoshop is somehow still unbearably slow. UI lag, slow file dialogs, random freezes. And the moment you accidentally touch some AI feature like Generative Fill, the whole app turns into a dying elephant.

Seriously, how do you make software this sluggish on hardware like this?

Feels like Adobe turned Photoshop into a bloated corporate monster instead of maintaining a fast, reliable tool. At this point they either need to rewrite it properly or just admit the Windows version is rotting.

After all these years I’m cancelling my subscription. Sad to say, but Adobe is starting to remind me of Flash/Flex era Adobe again.

We have year 2026 and DELL and Windows still cannot fix sleep mode after you close the lid. Please DELL, is it so hard to do one simple thing on your XPS notebooks?

• Lid closed -> go to sleep

Why, tell me why, do I need to take my notebook out of the bag a couple of times per month horribly hot and with the battery completely drained, because you did not put my notebook into sleep mode when I closed the lid?

The same thing that never worked on your notebooks still cannot be fixed to this day. My notebook cost like 3500 EUR (when 3500 EUR still was some money)... do you expect me to pay another 5000 EUR for this feature? I can tell, me. Will it work?

How to fix this please once and forever? (XPS 15")
