> Given the amount of information regarding adobe being a bunch of cntz over the last many years, you got anyone you actually want to blame?

I was asking for advice, so I’m a bit confused about your comment.

I’ve been using them since photoshop 5 and generally had a positive opinion for most of that time. I learned about the whole annual sub/weekly payments issue last year.

Come to think of it, I do blame them for dark UX and making the process unnecessarily difficult (which has worked in my case perfectly).
