Like a ferw users before me I can only say the same... At least give us a decent kitchen knife. Designer software where you can't even have layers permanently shown is not for designers it's not even for kids or anyone. It's just poorly executed interface design in an interface design program. Good job!

You see. Adobe has only one Katana and obviously is very afraid to use it. Have you ever seen a person cutting an orange with a hammer?... Because that's how my 15 years experience with Adobe software look like when forced to be working in Adobe XD.

XD is an exact copy of Sketch just to win people over. So far it has nothing to do with other core programs like ID, AI and PS, except for the company name.

I too vote in favor of the katana: Why would anyone ever prefere to struggle with a blunt knife to cut through?

Starting with a clean slate is not the same as copy-pasting what some other company created and try to make it fit into your own line of products. It would have been so much interesting to boil down the functionalities of ID and adapt it to a screen-centered approach. From there on, create a sofisticated tantō.

InDesign has long be promoted as a screen design tool. When you first create a document in ID, you are asked the Intent and there's three options: Print, Web & Mobile. Two of those are screens. There's tons of other features which are screen-specific, and many more than work for both screen and print mediums.

Many of us have been doing screen design long before XD. To me, XD is much more for newbie designers who are going to Sketch because they don't have the time/understanding to learn more capable apps.

I was looking at XD but figured I should just use InDesign. Maybe XD is for people without the Creative Cloud or using something other than a desktop. I appreciate Elaine's comment (above) but most of what I do in InDesign, Acrobat, and Photoshop IS using a Katana on an orange -- it is just that if I need more it is right there.

While the team says they've shipped the print capability on the Chrome Browser, it is a fragile implementation and does not work on most of the pages I've created. If you still face any more issue related to Adobe then you can contact to Adobe Support or you can also visit the website.

So, only one other person is getting it. Thanks!

In my opinion InDesign is Adobe's one and only true professional software these days. Everything else is getting more casual with every update.

The fact that you can not see your layers and your artboards LIKE IN EVERY OTHER ADOBE APP makes that point very clear and makes it seem like some external team is working on that software. This is just one example of how broken XD is. We're talking about mayor concept not just things that "will get implemented". They already are and they suck.

Actually I started doing wireframes with InDesign a long time ago and made my final drawings with Fireworks. ID is the only application that gives you enough flexibility while having full control over your elements. No other app does it like ID. Still.
You can do clean box designs in ID within minutes! You can set your fonts after that without going back in any text box. You can use the master pages for a dynamic navigation and footer even with states! You even have the chance of using interactive elements like buttons and inputs. Your presentation works as clickable PDF. I mean, come on?! ID already is the best you've got for web!

And when it comes to web designs, OF COURSE I want the bloody katana, ALWAYS. Because I pay 60 dollars every freakin month, not for school learning software but for professional applications that just get things done.

"ID makes sense for print" is not correct. ID just makes sense. That's it. XD doesn't. So I'm no different user - I use the whole Creative Suite. I am a user who tries to make sense of all that Adobe CC madness.

XD is a waste of time and people. I used it for enough hours now, I gave it a fair chance after every update but it's just gooey trash. Slow and a whole new level of dull. You can never make me believe this app will be actually as productive and powerful as ID. Dream on... Well I stopped.

Yes, I'm very upset about it, because other than you, Adobe persons, I really DO care about Adobe software.

I completely disagree. XD and InDesign are two completely different applications that exist to satisfy two completely different needs. XD is rightfully attempting to fill a major gap in tools built solely for web and app design. InDesign is unrelated, even despite the presence of features that would benefit XD (but will probably make their way to XD over time). I actually applaud Adobe for rethinking the way they do things in order to bring us a good software package. Once XD is "complete," then Adobe can and should go back to their other applications (PS, AI, ID) and make necessary adjustments and improvements. But let us have this tool that we so desperately need. And don't forget, XD stands for Experience Design. It's about UI and UX. So your comment about InDesign makes no sense.
