I myself am an OLD(School) Illustrator user truly believe that the lack of issuing any type of user guide is at best discourteous. Unfortunately, Adobe seems quite happy to Offload (i.e. burden and/or inconvenience) the task to their community. It seems like they used to consider us customers (or even clients) who deserved professional, well-organized, easy-to-use, comprehensive, and UP TO DATE instructions and guides. Hmmm,.. whatever happened to support those who put/keep you in business? I guess in the software business that's progress?

It's even worse when you consider that we live in a time when it would be MAGNITUDES easier than ever to produce, share and update truly useful and robust supporting content- Instead they offer tutorials that are so basic, they're practically useless.

just my 2¢
