While a few things about CS4 dissaponited me overall... I like the changes! I like the way the properties window is now. the other way did not work all to well anyways and you can alaway colpase the panels if they get in the way. I personaly minimize all panels to icons and shove them to one side. Also the new project window is a GODSEND for devolpers! while im disponited by the motion tweens and the 3d elmements to me CS4 is just what I was waiting for!
these are the things that adobe must really fix...
1 - The Motions tweens are stupid because you cant copy keyframes inside them. if you want this type of functionalty you have to use classic tweens but the motion tween is powerfull yet to hard to use! FIX IT!!!!
2 - the 3d transformation tools can get confusing if you select more then one object. I have used 3d modeling software before so I know how stuipd this tool can be!
3 - Amature object have the same problem as the motion tweens and no way to set the properties of an individual section!!! THAT BLOWS!!!!!!
4 - I HATE ADOBE'S SUBSELETION TOOL FOR ANY OF THERE PROGRAMS!!!!! WHY DO NODES LOSE THERE SHAPE IF YOU COVERT THEM TO ANCHOR POINTS!!!!!
