It helps all of us to get a variety of suggestions – you may be right and I may be wrong in our views, this approach helps all of us.

‌That's not a good analogy Cleo Tango, the final output from most Adobe applications, such as a JPG, PDF or HTML is Adobe independant. Also you don't have to continuously subscribe to the Creative Suite, with the monthly plan you only need to pay for it when you need it.

Personally, I'm delighted with the Creative Cloud subscription model. For £45.73 a month (UK) I get access to all these amazing products, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Muse, Edge, Premiere and lots more, plus regular  updates and Typekit fonts that can be used licence free on print publications, websites and eBooks. For Photoshop users who don't want to subscribe there's the excellent Photoshop Elements 14 for around only £60. ... View more

‌That's evidentially not true, since introducing the subscription model, which for professionals is not that much money each month (similar to a smart phone subscription), Adobe have continued to develop and introduce products for the Creative Suite. For example some exciting innovations in InDesign such as "Publish Online", and new free applications such Adobe Muse and Edge Animate. For those who don't want to use the products continuously, they can suspend their monthly payments until they need to use the products again. And of course. you can use the final outputs the applications, produce such as JPGs and PDFs, without the applications that created them. For amateurs, presumably like yourself, there's excellent applications like Photoshop Elements and Premier Elememrs 14 available for a one-off payment of around $70. ... View more
