Why are they taking so long to covert all their software offerings to APPLE ARM.
They should have been one of the firsts.

No thanks Adobe. I moved from the Creative Cloud to Davinci Resolve and Affinity products. I paid less for them than I would pay in ONE YEAR to Adobe. Their prices are just outrageous. At this point on my bill will be £0 for my new products (that are just as good if not better).

I use Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign fairly regularly and am tired of paying $50+ each month. What are good replacements for these apps? I don't mind a subscription model if need be, but Adobe's price is just too high.

“Every” is a bit of an exaggeration. Used to be that way. I think a lot of people, including companies, are or will start waking up to the fact that Adobe will cost thrm a lot more over the years than buying software outright.
maybe a bit, but nonetheless it's a lot more that governments that support adobe.

It’s not a good long term strategy to have your customers hate you. It can only hasten your fall.
It’s the power of marketing and hearsay. Lots of people doing know theirs a viable alternative. I love Davinci Resolve Studio instead of Premiere Pro and it cost new £260 ONCE. I also use Affinity Photo and again love it and that only cost me £24 ONCE. Resolve is much better than Premiere and Affinity Photo I would say is as good.

Yeah I agree but companies don’t like change. That’s what Adobe plays on and can charge what they want. Hopefully that will change. I detest subscriptions and have none in my life. anything that changes to a subscription for me, I would rather ditch and move.

I occasionally need Photoshop (for client validations) - so the way I do it - is to purchase only "boxed" PS+LR subscriptions. So prepaid only BOX - and then I activate it when I need it.

If one is careful - one can pickup a PS+LR prepaid 12 month subscription for 30-50% discount on special dates (Like Black Friday)

The biggest issue now is Adobe fills your hard drive with so much crap you cannot say "no thank you" too. (about 6 different programs running constantly in the background)

So next "fight the adobe" plan is to have an air gapped PC/Mac - just for Adobe Crap and similar craptastic software.
