Yeah complaints will subside as the business community dumps Adobe for something else.

Dunno, what alternatives are there?

Apple, Microsoft and Quark to name three off the top of my head.

None of which have as big of a community behind them as Adobe AFAIK.

Adobe is very much like 3ds max. Even if a vastly better app would be available,
no one's going to use it because that would mean abandoning thousands
of 3rd party tools, plug-ins, scripts etc.

Not to mention the time it takes to learn and get used to the new program.

I'll stick with my disc version, does all I want so no need to continually update, and no need for the cloud.

Anyone else who works in an IT company sick of hearing "The cloud". It's like the latest buzzword as of the last few years. Hell, my company has moved our data to a cloud network.

Adobe is ingrained in the business world. I often wondered why it was free to begin with.

Oh well, sometimes it takes a few bucks to make a few bucks.

Well I sure am. In this age of electronic surveillance and computer hacking the idea of deliberately putting a companies proprietary data out over the internet seems to me like a real bad idea.

Depends what you do.
Simple solution is freeware GIMP.

I thing they should come up with cheap solutions for home users or students or the company may lose in long run.

GIMP works if there really isnt anything else to use. The big issue I have with it,
as a long time Photoshop user, is the way they pretty much change all the hotkeys
to what they think are good. Takes quite a bit of time to learn navigate everything
quickly.

Yeah, I agree. The price could be slightly lower.
