The Adobe Installer/Updater: Getting Better?

Much has been made about the god awful Adobe Installer/Updater for their Creative Suite and associated apps. Personally, I find the Adobe Updater to be the single worst designed application on my Mac that I’m forced to live with. To say it is widely panned and loathed would be an understatement.

That said, Adobe seems to have gotten the message. The team responsible for the installer/updater has even launched a blog detailing their goals for the next release.

I definitely welcome the transparency that Adobe has given this issue. I sincerely hope that when Creative Suite 5 ships sometime next year, I will have one less thing to complain about.
