Please Do NOT up the price of the photography plan as your survey implies!

I misread the current "Plan X" survey and answered incorrectly.  I mistakenly thought that you were planning to add storage and nearly useless online editing to the current plan instead of trading Photoshop away for them.  Not sure why I would have thought that...  I have subscribed to the photography plan for the last six months or so and only use LR and PS that I've used for years.  Editing from the phone was fun - once - until I realized how useless it is.  I already have 15TB backed up online and have no interest in buying more storage from Adobe.

Reading between the lines, it sounds like Adobe is early in the process of jacking up prices on us for the meat-and-potatoes photography plan.  I will immediately cancel my CC subscription and revert to my $600 CS6 license and my current LR license if the 9.99 photography plan gets neutered and the only way to get LR and PS becomes a $15-20 plan with features useless to me.  I understand why Adobe wants to milk the annual subscription cow, and it has benefits to users over perpetual licenses - to a point

Right now PS CC2017 can't even deal effectively with very mainstream (for years now) 2560x1440 displays.  Its UI - like Adobe has heard about from users for years - is either too small at 100% or too large at 200%.  Complaints about 100% were answered, finally, with 200%, which is nearly as unusable because of the amount of screen real estate it takes.  PLEASE spend your resources catching up with the current state of hardware instead of charging us for kid-centric features marketed with cute videos of the girl taking a photo on her phone in a coffee shop, editing it for a minute, then finishing it at home.  Your grown-up users probably don't do much of that. 

We're the ones who bought your $600 licenses and $150 licenses to make you a giant in the first place; please don't screw on this.

Don't become like Apple, which I don't use, but have read comments from the Cupertino-faithful about having ever more infuriating OS's with glitzy features built solely for marketing, but with decreasing usability.

Thanks for your consideration.

This is a product user-to-user forum.  We have no say in what Adobe's bean counters decide to do with prices.   So you're preaching to the choir here.
