Your comment makes me think you have no experience with Adobe's product line if you think it can't stand on it's own feet. In fact, after Windows, I'd imagine Adobe software being one of the most pirated apps out there. Doubtful people would pirate software that's no good.

While your whimsical comment might apply to some rent seeking subscription products, as phrased, it does seem like you are totally out of line with it application in this thread.
