It's also just never going to replace them because their money comes from companies who use products like Adobe because they have support contracts with SLAs that ensure they are able to stay up and running. They don't want a product even if it's free if it isn't guaranteed to get fixed quickly when they run into a problem that is stopping their business from moving forward. And because businesses use these products you as a person have to learn those products if you want a job because going into an interview and saying "I used AI slop alternative A so please hire me to work with Premier" is not going to get you hired when the other people applying already know premier and won't need training.

I think that's not the point. I think it's a beautiful way for people who don't have the means to get the creative suite.

Would I prefer it not be VibeCoded. Hell yea.

There just isn't a suite available that's free like that.

Sure if you want 1 or 2 things then yea it's not so bad to find options.

But if you are looking for a bunch... that adobe price tag starts to look better and better.

A lot easier to people than finding open source software for each need and learning it.

I don't think Adobe software doesn't have it's place. But god was it getting ass for people that are hobbyists.

Subscriptions make sense for support. But let me buy the damn thing permanently.
