How awesome we give back to a software company that charges us

Question

How awesome we give back to a software company that charges us $600 / year while pushing out ever more flawed and buggy programs like Premiere's latest, leaving us poor saps to hope to solve things here in your community mid-project, things as fundamentally as a keyboard just straight up NOT working.  Heart attack guy is right!  One can only assume there are internal deadlines at Adobe to push out new (and ever more flawed) releases of the app every year in an arbitrary attempt to justify this insane subscription idea that has taken over the industry, plunging creatives into digital serfdom.  For apps with no reliable support and unknown random bugs.  How could anyone who works at Adobe tech support be expected to keep up, though, when the releases are constantly changing and creating new bugs?  Why bother, just push those errors onto us suckers, the ones who pay you for your app and get punished for it.
 
This app has for so long had a lock on the industry, and I can't wait to watch Premiere and After Effects get devoured by apps like DaVinci Resolve and other realtime GPU-based vfx apps, the way Photoshop is by Figma and countless others.  Adobe is going the way of QuarkXpress.

After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign (the Quark killer), Premiere Pro, Media Encoder, and Adobe Fonts are key to what I do professionally. I sure hope none of these applications go the way of Quark Express or Final Cut Pro classic.

System configuration and workflow optimization are key, even when running other software.
