Our Opinion:
The BLOX Total CMS team is very optimistic about the Adobe Creative Cloud 2018 release of Adobe InDesign and Adobe InCopy.
It doesn't have any new features that our clients will likely need other than it doesn't crash on closing documents like the last update from Adobe did (version 2017.1) or crash with Quick Apply (version 2017.0).
We've been testing it extensively since its release and have only discovered one intermittent issue that we have already addressed in a client update (see below).
We recommend that all Creative Cloud 2017 sites update to CC 2018 if their workstations and operating systems support it. But please update the client to version 5.22.02-3 or newer.
