Artists shouldn't be tied to brands and products. Artists get shit done using tools they have available.
All you've done is list 7 Adobe products, claiming "no competition", no choice but to subscribe to Adobe. The bottom line is you make things for clients: videos, illustrations etc. If Adobe Cloud crashed tomorrow, would you remove your clothes and wander the streets in despair? Crying and begging for food? No. You'd get the job done using other tools. Because you're an Artist, you're resourceful.
"Artists get shit done using tools they have available."
Agree. Those are tools named from Adobe, not the only I use.
"If Adobe Cloud crashed tomorrow, would you remove your clothes and wander the streets in despair?"
If your ISP or power has blackout, would you?
"Because you're an Artist, you're resourceful."
Also pragmatic. I use tools to get things done faster. Adobe has top notch software developed over decade by payed professionals, with millions of investment. I strongly disagree with their terms of use (no option to work offline is ridiculous), but as you said. Artist are resourceful.
It doesn't change anything on fact that I would like to abandon Windows completely and stick with linux.
It literally doesn't.
