    [Robin S. Kurz] “For anyone else? Mindblowingly stupid in my book. At least for any straight thinking adult and not some “ooooh, all THAT for ‘just 50 bucks’??!” kid. In which case I don’t give a flying poon how long any feature list is or if it kicks the pants off of everything else on the planet… which it doesn’t. The rudest awakening of them all in the end.

    Factually nothing that could ever happen to me with Final Cut Pro X or any other non-Ponzi model of that kind. Simple. And if Apple ever introduced any such model for X, I’d work my way all the way down to Movie Maker if I had to or would simply become a pro-level basket weaver before I bought into such nonsense.”

    Brilliant Robin, Glad you can do without it, however a lot of us “straight thinking Adults” NEED Adobe products in our workflow for various reasons. Would I rather it wasn’t subscription only? Yes, but it isn’t so I pay for it.

    What you think is “mindblowingly stupid” sadly is a necessity for an awful lot of other people’s workflows. Happy for you that you can CHOOSe not to use it

    Exactly. My personal opinion, nothing more. It’s an unacceptable concept for me, therefore I don’t buy into it. And again, it’s not Adobe exclusive either, which is the worst part if you ask me, more and more are jumping on that bandwagon. Adobe were just the obvious example in this context, but it applies to any and everyone with the same “service“.

    Also, I don’t know of anything that Adobe offers that I can’t get elsewhere. Rarely very expensive (<$100, one time), often times even FREE. Even if a certain level of integration with each other is a strongpoint, sure. But everything is a give and take. I for one consider the “I have to have [insert Adobe app here] as a necessity!” a very common and way too easily accepted logical fallacy that clearly caters well to Adobe… good for them! But ultimately, to each his own, right? ????

    Yep, unless your clients supply you After Effects and Premiere Projects to work on or work with and then that choice goes away!

    That of course not being the scenario I was referring to.
