It can go both ways. Upgrades: Plus: Must be compelling so they must come up with new features Minus: Sometimes those new features are bad. Subscriptions: Plus: Keep it working on new OS versions Minus: No compelling reason to add anything.

It really depends on what it is and how much value it adds to my life Photoshop I pay. I tried switching to Affinity Photo but Affinity Photo had a poor workflow for my needs that would have ended up taking 10x longer. I value my time such

The problem is when it's not objectively wrong but it has an opinion of what is right and refuses to consider alternatives. Just had an experience with it when I asked for advice on xyz it effectively said "xyz is bad, um-kay&quot
