If Apple could write a decent OS that isn't fundamentally flawed and forced the users to upgrade just to get a working OS then we wouldn't have an issue. Our media consume habits are on the verge of change it is unclear whether Adobe can keep up with the innovation pace in the media creation realm.įor now, CS6 is still a satisfying tool, for which we've already payed a lot, and would like to continue using it in macOS Sierra. Who knows, maybe their software will be the "gold standard" for creative departments in a near future.
Can subscription-based business models slow down innovation progress and new "killer features"? I believe so.Īffinity does interesting things nowadays. My personal impression is, that since CS has gone CC subscription-only, Adobe lost track of innovation due to lack of pressure from potentially upgrading customers. The best drawing tool on an iPad is procreate, and that's not from Adobe (yet?). But Adobe hasn't demonstrated great innovation there yet. The only benefit I see in switching to CC eventually is mobile apps. Like robeddie said, the (latest and greatest) tool doesn't make you a great artist automatically. The new "features" are mostly gimmicks to me. However, I'm not willing to throw extra money for that singular feature on a monthly basis. Well, Photoshop got art boards, maybe that is. For my daily workflow, I haven't heard of any. I don't know which improvements are there in CC you're so excited about. Mercury engine was already available for AE in CS6. But I haven't seen any great value in newer CC versions since the infamous subscription-only switch.
Flash is obviously dead, Fireworks was never my favorite, and has been discontinued anyway. I work daily with Illustrator/PS/InD and often use Premiere and AE. Professionals also like to respect their expenses. Labeling most CS6 users as pirates is equally invalid. There are many professional freelancers and creative departments still working with CS6 or older. However, since this is often a recurring debate, I'd like to elaborate: I am pro, and of course I payed for my CS6.
