In Illustrator, pressing 'esc' while editing type leaves the type object, switching you back to the arrow pointer with your changes intact.

In Photoshop, pressing 'esc' while editing type cancels all changes you've made to the type object.

Guess which behavior I'm used to? Guess how expecting that behavior makes me swear like a rabid sailor with Tourette's when I'm using fucking Photoshop?

"Unified interface" my ass.

Also while I'm swearing at Photoshop, who the fuck thinks it is a good idea to constantly resize your goddamn document window when you zoom in with apple +/-? I fucking hate that. I'm constantly resizing the window again so it's not covered by the goddamn palettes; Illustrator just takes the size I give it and stays there.

Any day in which I have to use Photoshit for anything besides scanning is not a happy day.

You know that in photoshop you can remove the "resize window" check at the top when zooming, and it'll stop doing that >.>

No, I do not know this, or I wouldn't be bitching about it. Where is this check found?

When the magnifier tool is selected, the toolbar has an option that says Resize Windows To Fit. remove the checkmark next to it and the windows should hold their size independent of zoom.

Ah, thanks! I always magnify by using the keyboard shortcuts, so I'd never see that.

Sadly, this does not seem to affect the behavior of the apple +/- shortcuts to zoom - it is off, and they still resize. FUCK YOU ADOBE.
