You're not wrong there, I definitely agree about Adobe's business practices being shady.
My main argument is against them saying that subscription software should be illegal.
- chii 7y agosubscription software should be illegal _if_ the software does not also contain a feature to port/export your data out in a standard (and supported-by-a-competitor) format. If they are able to hold your data hostage, then it's not a free-association relationship, and should not be called a subscription, but instead an extortion. Sell me a perpetual license, or sell me a subscription plus ability to move away.

BTW Photoshop's .psd can be opened in others software. You can export FCP XML from Premiere Pro for Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve (and probably others NLE). You can open Premiere Pro's .prproj, unzip it, extract the XML and edit it yourself; The same goes for After Effects projects, based on RIFF https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Interchange_File_Format https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Interchange_File_Form.... Please educate yourself little bit about the products you're criticizing
