You could swap Adobe in for Autodesk and almost the entire letter holds true. High cost, few improvements, few alternatives. There's a little more competition these days with Adobe at least.
- spiderfarmer 6y agoI agree, Adobe lost me to their competition. Affinity Designer, Publisher and Photo replaced the Adobe Suite for me and while I miss some functionality, I don't miss the monthly payments. Maybe if I was a fulltime designer I would not have a problem with Adobe.
- omnimus 6y agoI dont know full time designer who doesnt have problem with adobe. They take monthly fee and updates to software are so minor especially on classic tools like indesign and photoshop. They dont tackle the important hard problems like performance and stability instead they add some new gimmicky features 5% of users ever use and make new software that again anyone rarely uses (except XD i guess). Adobe classic software has been on life support before the subscriptions even started. Nobody was upgrading CS3 even ran much faster than CS5 and had most of the features. Its probably the reason why they made the subscriptions.
- bitxbit 6y agoI actually wouldn’t mind the subscription model if they priced you for daily use. $0.99/day to use Adobe suite would be perfect.
