Because of the serious shortcomings of Acrobat 6 (which have been fixed with the patch only to a very limited extent) concerning my work, I may not have that many hours on Acrobat 6 as you do. But I have so far not seen much of intuitive and logical layout...
Your area, forms authoring, is definitely one where the changes are mixed...Set Tab Order missing in the initial release certainly raised noise (and enough to get it back in 6.0.1).
But I find some of the other changes to be for the better - different tools for different item types, external JS editor for Mac OS, JS debugger(!)
mm... I think that is a serious misconception. One can assume that Acrobat is a mature software which can not get that much more additional users.
And that's why you aren't in Adobe marketing & sales ;).
Figure that there are MILLIONS of people out there just using Reader, who could/would benefit from having a copy of Standard (or Pro) on their desk.
And also, I assume that new users have to be trained anyway.
True, but the less training the better (from the company stand-point, though maybe not that of trainers ;).
Therefore, one creates more economic damage by forcing existing users to relearn everything.
Not if once the change is learned, productivity increases. If it's a zero-gain change, then sure, it's not worth it, but I think most of the changes are positive ones - though there are ones that annoy me too. My biggest annoyance is the location of the "Page Actions" panel...
