Comment on Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions are getting more expensive

  I switched over to Affinity since 2019. I never saw any need to go back to Adobe.

    Affinity is awesome, at least until Canva starts demanding a subscription model.

  Still worth it.

  I’d rm -rf my computer rather than using adobi*** products.

    Exactly, you are not their target user.

    Many people, including myself until recently, would also do a lot to rid themselves of adobe, but for us it just isn’t possible.

    On the other hand, their subscription isn’t that high, compared to so many other subscriptions.

      $60 per month (if you sign a 1 year agreement) is sky high for software subscriptions. Sounds like Stockholm syndrome.

        Yeah but nobody buys it at full price. You can get it for 35 by just asking. Thats most likely not the highest subscription of the person using their apps.

        And I don’t want to defend them at all. Finally I don’t need them anymore after almost 20 years. Stoked about it.

    That works. I think I could probably get away with using Inkscape instead of illustrator, but it would be a struggle, because with it I can’t copy paste vectors to other apps. InDesign is completely alone in it’s category.

    Adobe is the standard everyone uses. You can’t be a pro and collaborate without it.

    It’s like 35€ per month. There are so many subscriptions out there now. Everything is a subscription. 35€ isn’t even that much anymore, considering all the apps you get.

  Photopea has been great, probably not the best for power users, but it’s basically a clone of the Photoshop UI.
