I do all my graphics editing with a Fireworks CS4, bought ten years back. I use it rarely, so the one time payment worked wonders. In almost every way I prefer apps that I completely own - especially if it's locally installed. And I'd be willing to pay a higher price upfront if there was such an option.

Note: I am not saying that your annual plan would be overpriced or unaffordable.

I appreciate your input. It's worth some thought.

Just to be clear FATpick is not strictly a local app. It's more like a fat client - a local app that depends on part on services in the cloud.

I didn't check the current price, bit since I purchased it in (I believe) ~2008 it's been well amortized.
