I have been with adobe almost from the start. It has been a slow bleed as I have back out of more and more of the applications I played with. As a former Ad Executive and someone trained in the use of Photo Shop and Illustrator and someone in love with the tools of Acobat I can no longer justify the expense at 73 years olds of playing with these software tools. I know there is cost in developing and improving software in a diffcult time.  I also know pricing  is a blade that cuts both ways. The question is how much genius to use and make these applications sing is being pushed to the edge and off the table. Good luick Adobe I trule hope your make it through these growing pains.

>growing pains

 

I give zero attention to the stock market or company reports... those who do have, a few times, talked here about how Adobe is very healthy... so I don't think that Adobe if feeling any 'pains' at all

 

I do agree that without using the programs to make money, they may not be worth the cost to you

 

If you really want to keep using Adobe programs check into taking a college course
