Charging a subscription fee is crazy for a product that is very expensive. I do not know why they are still around.
I hate it too (and never had to use it) but $20/month is peanuts for people who use it professionally, unless they're from third world countries (which likely pirate it anyway)
The suite is $60 / month, which is not peanuts, especially since the vast majority of self-employed creatives aren’t exactly raking in cash.
