A user of Adobe products for over 30 years and ready for replacements.
I haven't had a chance to do anything heavy with Publisher yet but from what I've tried workflow here doesn't look like it's going to slow me as much. It has so many of the Adobe features that the basics can be picked up very quickly. I note here that we can select inches as a default, very handy for those prepping work in non-standard America. However, now we're in two worlds, Photo in pixels and Publisher in inches.
Tabs: It took Adobe years to get this right but their method now works well. I'm finding Publisher could do with some work on this.
Shortcuts: A slowdown for me is not being able to zoom in using the usual keyboard shortcut if the text tool is selected.
