Seems like a pretty solid deal, if you need everything. I don't know who that person is though. The intersection between Final Cut Pro and Logic users is pretty small, I'd imagine.

TBF, you can say the same thing for adobe creative cloud - the intersection between After Effects and Indesign users is also effectively nil!

But having one simple opex line item for "software I buy for the creative types" is appealing for a lot of orgs.

But the CC subscriptions offers a lot more.

Photohsop, Illustrator and After Effects are pretty much industry standards.

Apple really should’ve grabbed Affinity before canva. Would’ve rounded out this suite much better.

		Yeah. The Affinity team with Apple's resources could have made an amazing Adobe CC alternative for Mac users.

Yes, re: opex. The product is “renewals,” not software really.

I'm that kind of user but I would rather not use Logic, Final Cut, or PixelMator unless Apple really improves those. On top of that there's also the platform lock-in concern.

Subs like this are great for people who can’t afford the full versions yet
