      yeah i agree with u infact i have moved to linux from windows from 3 years but i still miss some editing fictionalities (only thing that i like in adobe actobate premium) that it lets you to edit pdf very extensively (you can open an image in pdf with some editing program and it just edot it in pdf ..etc and some other good features thag i really miss in linux . but I can't really afford a dead slow and insecure program anyways. if you know some good pdf editing tools then suggest me. mostly i use okular or libre draw. but i cant add images and edit images of pdf still as good as adobe provides. lastly im not defending adobe i really don't like it just mentioning some things i want to do in linux and i believe these are there , its me who can't find them in linux

    A worse application: Microsoft SharePoint.
    1) It's hard to explain what it's meant for or what it does, indicating poor requirement design.
    2) Not only is it itself bloated, but it also requires other infamously heavy services.
    3) Out of the box it ALMOST does what you'd reasonably need, necessitating weird hacks for what should be baseline functionality.
    4) Developing for it constricts one's mind around very specific obstacles, skills are almost entirely non-transferable.
    5) Almost no modularity. No good modularity at all.
    Somehow no competitor with full feature-parity has emerged.

So I'm on my windows machine now and decided to compare back to adobe reader by opening a textbook in it.

    I honestly have to concur. I can't think of a worse program. MS Word is a close second though because it too has way too many features for its own good (ergo is bloated). Even the Microsoft developers themselves have acknowledged that. This is why they introduced what they called "hidden" menus to make the program appear to be simpler.
    As a writer, I am forced to use MS Word for my final drafts. But most of the actual writing is done in Sublime Text. I love that text editor.

On the real, though the problem is probably using a slow HDD to load like a 2 gig program because 100% of it needs to be loaded into ram just to look at a PDF and it needs like 50 title bars so the average user base feels at home.

      Järvinen Old Mac had this “just works philosophy”. You can even open .doc files with quick view(tapping 4 fingers or hitting spacebar) But you can still drop files to browser and get similar type of experience in windows computers. As everyday preview user I’ve noticed preview has some serious freezing issues with scanned documents and tiff files. I always amazed by the huge numbers of formats that Preview able to open. It can even open 3D models Adobe illustrator and psd documents It’s like VLC media player for graphics. Preview is part of QuickTime package which software it self vastly inferior compared to VLC. QuickTime still doesn’t support video playing without converting and still has no working subtitle engine. Also I hate ITunes being mess.

      @@or2kr Maybe we've just happened to have different experiences, but with the several browsers I've used throughout my time, PDFs that are beyond 20 pages can take to a minute or more just to load, whereas downloading takes mere seconds. Sometimes I have to read/review PDFs that are hundreds of pages long, and at that point it's much quicker to use an actual PDF viewer that was specifically made to view PDFs (e.g MuPDF) than a browser whose sole purpose is to browse the internet. Also I can guarantee it's not the hardware I've been using.

    Real Player. I also had some Chinese roommates circa 2010, they would use this software that I can only be describe as Desktop application that did everything: Streaming, Messaging, Email, Media Player, Calculator. I have no clue what exactly was, but it filled the screen and gives me nightmares to this day.
