I love Adobe products, and I’ve used them since Photoshop version 2.5. A large corporation has the budget to shoulder monthly fees, but small businesses and home users may balk, especially for programs used only occasionally. It’s easy to understand why some users have been unhappy with Adobe’s subscription model. In 2013, not long after I purchased the Adobe Creative Suite CS6 program, Adobe terminated the desktop versions of its software and launched Creative Cloud, offering subscription-based access only to its suite of products.
