There has been endless bitching about Adobe and Autodesk going rental.  Some folks say it's a war on creative professionals.

I used to purchase the creative suite once every few releases. Now I subscribe and have everything for roughly $50 per month. 

 

I haven't done the math but it seems like I'm coming out ahead.

Fortunately, all I need is Photoshop which is leased at a tolerable $10 month.  Just search any photography forum to find all the screaming.

I wonder how much of this is based on facts or how much is emotional. People feel like they are getting ripped off. Not saying anyone is right or wrong though. 

Some of each.  There are lots of photographers hanging onto old versions of Photoshop.
