I have to admit this was a little dig at Adobe, but I can understand why they would like a subscription model, and from their POV it’s eminently reasonable. Also, the Adobe people that post here always are polite and entirely reasonable.
I’m hardly especially resistant to change – I jumped right into FCPX and many other changes since I started in this business, shooting and editing film – but I really do like the feeling of ownership. Even If I get stuck at a certain point, at least I can continue on in that state. Having someone else wanting my money monthly is just annoying. It’s the same reason I don’t lease cars, essentially, I save up and then buy them outright.
It’s good to have options. Owning what I’ve paid for is the best option for me. So far.
Best,
John
