I still will use adobe apps and the main reason is my university offer them for free. But I agree adobe’s subscription is an overkill for personal use

That's Adobe's way of getting you hooked. It was the same for me at my college. It took me a long time to port my muscle memory to Sketch.

If I had an advice to give to my college self, I would advise not even starting with Adobe: if you're a designer and use their tools, the tools you need to make money with isn't even available for sale, you can only rent. So you might end up in a place where Adobe jacks up the price of Creative Suite by 10-100x per month after becoming dominant like Oracle, and you would have to pay your dues to their feudal fiefdom just to be able to continue your profession - else you'll starve. Not a great place to be for anyone.

FWIW that’s exactly why Microsoft office and windows is so prolific, it’s what people know from school so it’s not even a conversation on switching.

Even if Microsoft is gauging companies with licenses.

And exactly why Google responded with chromebooks and free gsuite for education.
