It's funny you say that, because if you look at Adobe's financials, you'll find that yoy revenue has continued to only increase and is continually hitting new records.

That's because they switched to a subscription model and are practically forcing companies to switch from their legacy perpetual licensing model. I can assure you that it's pissing a lot of people off and a lot of people are trying to find alternatives.

Where I work we dropped Adobe Pro because of the subscription model and switched over to FoxIT

Not only do they have a subscription model, but if you get their biggest single user package, which is ~$54/mo, they charge you ~$300 early cancellation fee. This is insane to me and is the main reason why I personally dumped them for my professional use.

BlackBerry’s best years were after the iPhone launched.

I’m not saying Adobe’s looking at a similar collapse, but trends can be misleading.
