Photoshop

Ok, so everyone can agree that Photoshop is a pretty awesome program. After all, it enables people to make things like this.

The problem is, it is one of the least intuitive programs ever invented. I don't mean with all the complicated features. After all, there is so much shit you can do in Photoshop, it's ridiculous to expect to be able to just jump in and do everything right away.

Unfortunately, even the simplest things are difficult to pull off without any problems. I can't just stick in a text box and type in it with an automatically sized font. I can't just drag and drop a picture on top of another one. I can't just make a gradient that goes from black to transparent. I know for a fact that all of these things are possible, but change one setting and there's no way it's gonna happen. There needs to be an easy way to do easy things.
