Well, they caught me. Sorry to break solidarity, guys, but I've been needing something and the deal was finally too good for me to pass up. I don't like the renting software, but I've been tired of having to convert all bajillionty-million of my 7D files to use on my really old copy of PS. $10/mo and I get LR and PS goes a long way towards making things easy on me.
I think out best hope is for the camera manufacturers to beef up their included software. They have the RAW processors and they have rudimentary photo management and editing. Just some tweaking and updating and you'll have something worthwhile. Some more tweaking and updating after that and you'll have a great product.

Well, I for one will not ridicule you for taking advantage of the opportunity. There are some folks for which the offering is a reasonable solution.
My personal observation is I lack the trust and confidence that any long-term arrangement with Adobe is in my best interest. Or the fact that the CC only option, after decades of it was the customer's choice to invest in what Adobe offered ... in other words, new versions/upgrades had to have enough merit to warrant the investment ... now we must underwrite EVERYTHING Adobe does, whether or not that effort would enhance our own individual efforts.
Sure, they seem to be doing a decent job of adding value to CC now, in these first few months after the switch to subscription only ... however, I have serious doubts that will be the case over the long haul.
I have until midnight 12/31/2013 to make up my own mind on how to move forward ... though, I have yet to find enough confidence in the situation to make that an easy decision.
