After all, you can always launch the individual apps whenever you want, and you can also fire up the Creative Cloud start window with a click too. I’m like you, however I jealously guard space on the menubar and limit it as best I can to what I actually use and interact with, rather than just ending up with a sprawl of icons that take up space but don’t offer functionality. Lots of Mac users don’t mind a bit because they spend a lot of time in these programs and have learned to “think like Adobe”, including being appreciative of the shortcut Creative Cloud button on the menubar. It’s no surprise that the software has a rather unique approach to offering up easy shortcuts to the various programs in the suite, including PhotoShop, Premiere, Illustrator, and Lightroom. Adobe has always offered up a slightly different user interface and user experience than that of every other Mac app.
