Don't get me started on vocalizing the hatred I have for Lion in general right now. I regret not just staying put with my beloved Snow Leopard 10.6.8. SO MUCH FASTER AND RESPONSIVE. In my experience at least. As far as Adobe and Lion goes, AE has operated about the same for me. I've had Media Core failing on launch a few times due to the "saved state" function of Lion, but deleting the actual saved state resolves it. I'm saddened that the saved state is not an optional feature, it just is the new way of operating with Lion now. Photoshop has run decently, but i haven't really pushed it at all. Haven't touched the other Adobe apps in Lion yet. Overall, I've watched my MacBook Pro drop about 50% in speed and usefulness because of the update. 10.7.2 didn't help any either. 10.7.3 is around the corner and my fingers are crossed that I can hopefully gain back my once beloved machine from it's coma.
