I loathe Adobe, and yet we still pay for their products. I hated when they moved to subscription and stuck with CS5.5 for ages. However as the team grew and we needed seats for our talent, Creative Cloud was a small added cost worth paying. This might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. But, Libraries were a game changer - especially for those who needed quick, easy access to assets generated by other artists on the team. And generative fill in photoshop is exceptional. Still, we’re a much smaller team now and we can absolutely transition our skills to other suites/applications. I’ve long been an affinity customer just to encourage the development of the alternative. Time to start playing more seriously.
