Wow a lot of back and forth on this subject.

In a sense, I think its a moot point since Adobe as is the industry is moving towards subscription models. Is that better/worse, well it seems we have two groups of people, one stating it is, the other not so much.

I was steadfast against it, but at this point, I have found value in using the latest versions of LR and PS. I can't call myself a power user, but for 10 bucks a month, I'm using some powerful apps.
