There are people that used to rely on this software as a means of an income: graphic designers, production designers, animators, illustrators, the list goes on.

There are people that used to rely on this software as a means of an income: graphic designers, production designers, animators, illustrators, the list goes on. For a company to have such a grip on their means of living seems a bit harsh. I have great respect for the software, but not a high regard for the way it is sold. I can only hope that cheaper alternatives come along someday, but again, I think Adobe has quite a stranglehold on the industry because their software is the standard.
