Hello,
for a long time it has bugged me that, when I start to type in Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop (all standart versions that I can think of), the text is set at something like 12 pt and I have to resize it every time. Is there a particular reason why this is so, and can I change the default to something like 30 pt?

Your experience with Adobe's defaults may be because (1) their software is old, old, old. Both Photoshop and Illustrator date back to the middle 1980s. In those days, with their typical low-resolution screens, 12pt on screen actually looked like 12pt-real-life.
And (2) is, of course, that they do not keep up with 21st century high resolution display technology, and so they appear to not recalculate real world measurements to pixel size.
