The move to a subscription service is a clear sign they haven't had a compelling reason to upgrade for years (decades?). Yeah, it sucks. Chiseling bastards. Their time will come.
Revisiting Photoshop and vector drawing after a 20+ year hiatus, it's remarkable how little has changed. For the stuff I'm working on, having a camera phone is 100x bigger step forward than what these major software suites have done.

Acorn (
