Unify the design language of UI and UX across all Adobe products
Panels, sliders, buttons, icons, properties, drag and drop behavior is different across all your products. Why? Unify them under a single design language. I would look to Adobe XD for inspiration.

When are we going to get consistency between Adobe programs?
Some examples:
- Resizing in Photoshop and Illustrator: one requires SHIFT to retain proportions, one doesn't
- Clicking the Fill/Stroke colour in Photoshop and Illustrator: one requires double clicking, one doesn't

Switching from one app to another (Fresco, Illustrator or Photoshop), it is annoying not to find the equivalent tools at the same place (ex: pipette).
Would it be possible to have a better coherence between the apps?
I’ll post this question in the other suggestions forums too.
Thanks for your consideration. -

KS I agree with your suggestion, a consistent experience makes great sense, and with that in mind perhaps you should have a look at the Affinity Suite.
However I disagree with your tone, surely if a customer spoke to you in this way you'd put their suggestion at the bottom of the pile.

This is a JDI and a MUST change in Illustrator: Unified Workspaces, Tools, Palettes, etc. and consistency in UI and UX Design across all Graphic Applications from Adobe. It is inacceptable to cross completely different approaches in every Applicaton. At least there must be accordance in basic and rudimentary use of Tools, Palettes and Commands. Otherwise get a life Illustrator Team, you suck since two decades. Nuff said.

Tool panels do not work the same across applications. Please include consistency across application panels where possible (character panel would be an easy start) Not talking shortcut changes, just make the dang panels have the same functionality across applications. It doesn't make sense why a panel would lack functionality entirely. It would be understandable if functionality was slightly different as the apps have evolved over the years. But some panels are completely void of functionality in applications where other applications have full featured or partial functionality in the panels.
Would this not help with user adoption across applications? Why wouldn't a company strive to create similar functionality across it's suite of applications unless it didn't care about using the applications together?

totally agree. I have a good habit of using direct selection tool in AI all the time, and switching to other two selection tools by holding Cmd or Option. And that habit gets really annoying when I'm working in ID.

In Ais windows menu it’s a good idea to sort the items alphabetically. It’s much easier to find something I’m searching for. Anyway it has to be the same system in Ai and Id. That was Adobes promise when they bought Freehand: easier switch inside the Adobe family. But it never came true ....!!! The Please vote! -
Equal is not an option. These two are different.
But I agree that AI's Window menu could be rearranged. For example, put all external palettes into 'External' group. -

InDesign and Illustrator menus are too different. It's hard to switch. Please make it equal. For example: Window menu: In Id it's grouped and in Ai not (better to find something!). See attached.

InDesign and Illustrators interface designs (and shortcuts) are too different. It's hard to switch. Please make it equal.
For example: Transformation panel. See attached.
