I guess the one thing Adobe has going for it is the fact they listen to their customers. Tell me again who asked for this?

That’s for darn sure. That “introductory” rate sounds good this year, but when that thing runs out, we’ll all be paying double what we’re paying now, and for software we don’t “own”. It’ll really hit home if anyone closes up shop and needs to go back a month or two for a quick edit… Honestly, I don’t know… I’m based in AE, but… Sonofa…

They just listen to their accountants and broker.

Look,

Adobe is a fine company that makes excellent products.

If they’ve seen some internal data – or simply have a business vision that this course may be the only way they can attain their unique business goals, then that’s what they need to do if they want to keep growing their business.

When Apple made their “big change” everyone trashed them mercilessly – in large part IMO, because very few people understood the full breadth of what they saw coming and how they needed to react to changes in order to remain relevant in a changing business landscape.

I, for one, am going to give Adobe the chance to make their case about the necessity for this change that hardly anybody gave Apple.

Period.

[Andrew Kimery] “Wow, I’m really surprised Adobe did this right now. I think this will put the breaks on a lot of people that were transitioning, or planning to transition, over to Adobe.”

I agree, this is somewhat of a surprise. But I’m not sure it will translate into a massive switch away from Adobe. For those who need a suite of tools (Mograph/VFX, Paint, vector graphics, audio, etc)… will it make sense to adopt another NLE out of protest, especially when Premiere is looking so much better? I’m not crazy about subscription software either, but I wonder what the alternative is. It might be a fun exercise to research a bundle of tools that replaces the CS suite, but man… what a hassle. That said, I think I could replace everything in the suite but AE (if I had to):-)

This cc might be good for the thousands of advertising, design studios and new users to try it out but thw other thousands of users will not do the cloud and will look else where if not to a hacked version.
