Which Adobe Software YOU believe is useless?

The only Adobe creation programs I find useful are Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Flash, Premiere, Encore, After Effects, Soundbooth, and acrobat or adobe PDF reader.

BUT, the only Adobe programs that I'm willing to have installed my computer is Flash (actionscript) and Illustrator (mainly for the illustrator save as .ai format) because the rest of the adobe programs mentioned are replaced with free open source such as GIMP, Blender, Mypaint, Audacity, Inkscape, Scribus, and hand coding web design code.

What's yours?

I avoid using InDesign, it is not very user friendly.

o....

I didn't have problems with it but I do find it useful since it can put together all pages at once. The alternative to creating pdf book is to use pdf creator but you have to create all the pages individually instead of all in one.

Adobe Premiere is pretty obsolete. You can do everything it does in After Effect.

Other I can think of is Element (you got PS), Firework (oi, PS!) & especially Soundbooth (we have Audition!).

Not true. You can't import super long footage in After Effects without it trying to cache in memory.

Premiere is definitely needed because it can handle super long footage.

After Effects is merely used for the touch up on small portion of the clips.

I find a use with most of the Adobe Suite... Except InDesign and Fireworks.

Indesign is great, I just don't use it for my purposes.

Fireworks however... I can't find a justified reason for it to exist anymore. It had its uses when Macromedia was still around, but that's long gone... =/

Useless? Bridge.

Hated? Flash.

Never really liked adobes bloat PDF readers either. Didn't they have a pretty featureless ebook program too?

Yea, I find Bridge useless too.

I only liked Flash because it combined both 2d animation (because without Flash, I would probably be using ToonBoom instead) and the ability to add interactivity.

But then again, there's Javascript as the replacement for actionscript.
