Not efficient IN ANY WAY, worst installation structure I have ever seen.
The creative cloud desktop application is A MESS. It has around 5 processes running without even a running desktop application. This is not acceptable. My MacBook is going hot the moment I open the application. (without opening any adobe program - and it used to handle all that stuff pretty well). This is totally inefficient and uses system resources unnecessarily.
What did your developers think when they laid out the installation structure?
Create a folder in /programs with aliases to the folder in /programs/utilities which then leads to even MORE aliases which then link to another folder in /programs/utilities where there is finally a real file but also more cross linking aliases? Also CC created 7 different and separate folders within /programs and /programs/utilities. What the actual heck. This is a Mess! When I did my last clean install and downloaded the new CC DA, I had 6 different programs in my launchpad. Not acceptable in any way.

Thanks for your reply. I understand that there are many more process involved but this: (first Screenshot) is ridiculous. And at this point of time I did not even had any App like Photoshop or so installed yet. (And all the folders that were created within ~/Library are not mentioned yet.
And about the processes screenshots: Adobe was NOT running - none of the adobe programs were running.
Furthermore, it is absolutely painful to not be able to disable the File Sync anymore. It was possible before but now you can only "pause" it which means that the files remain on your hard drive. I use CC on my Macbook and have many gigabytes of files in the cloud that I do not need on my device. Thats why it is called the cloud right? So I do not need to store them on my device.

Hi Vincenzo, I understand your feedback. The CC Desktop app is only one process, but it's also orchestrating other services used by Photoshop, Illustrator, etc... like the CC Library process, CCX, CoreSync to sync your files in the cloud, etc...
