MODERATORS
This is giving Adobe too much credit. They suck, for sure, and are monopolistic and have set the industry back, but if people want to do creative things, there are manageable options outside of Adobe. Especially if you focus on alternative software for a particular niche (photography, illustration, compositing, etc).
This, I've never understood the learned helplessness of some people. The 12,000 employee international company I work for doesn't pay for any Adobe products. You can just use literally any other product or open source alternative, I promise you there are multiple good ones with extremely well supported professional workflows used by millions of people every day, for every conceivable Adobe product. You can learn a new workflow I believe in you, it will take like three months to get used to.
