25 years already?
I wonder how bare bone the first version was compared to what's available today.

Thanks for the great years Adobe!
Now lower your price you fucking pricks.

I thought the Cloud having decent pricing was the general opinion
Scratch disks are full

Oh my, It's been such a long time since seeing the Helicopter Shark image.
I've been using photoshop since 6.0 and I think its definitely time for a rewrite/overhaul. I think node based photoshop would be amazing but the adobe devs have dismissed that idea for a while now.

Super Bowl quality, to say the least. Too bad Adobe didn't bother for this year...

After like 2 years of use (with a perfectly functional product, mind you), the cost of subscription outweighs the cost of one of the old licenses. I'd rather pay a one-time price and have something functional that I don't have to worry about being connected to the internet to use, but that's just me. I mean, if I bought a copy of Photoshop or Flash or whatever back in CS4 or 5, I'd still be able to use it and not have to keep paying for it.
As much as I hate to admit it though, it [I]has[/I] made Adobe stuff much more available to me, but at the cost of annoyance and less "bang for your buck".

just FYI, you can go a month without ever connecting to the internet and it'll keep on working, DRM won't shut you out if the internet blinks.
With the way things update, I'd rather be on top of it for the monthly prices down the line than pay for one version then wait several years for that to be 'worth it' while new content is dangled in front of me. I feel itchy thinking about the concept of going back to PS CS4 just to pinch some pennies today
They don't seem to add a whole lot of features in between versions, or at least not ones I cared about. The only thing I'd really miss using CS4 is the content-aware fill. Content-aware is fantastic...
It's even worse with Flash though; until Flash CC, they rarely added worthwhile features. I'd be as comfortable using Flash CS6 as I would CS3, probably (but fuck CS2 and those stupid floating window tool panes) because the core of the program has pretty much gone unchanged since Macromedia Flash 8. Hell, it even retains some of the same annoying-as-fuck bugs.
Flash CC really does have some great improvements, though, can't even lie.
"Here's a video of how terrible most of you are at photoshop!"
Photoshop is fucking amazing
but After Effects is "holy fuck that was easy and looks so fucking cool fuck me I'm pro"
I know they are two entirely different programs with different purposes but After Effects still amazes and surprises me after several years.
An After Effects celebration video would be nuts
The new adobe pricing has allowed me to use legitimate software for freelancing that before I would never be able to afford. After Effects, Premiere and Photoshop alongside Illustrator and keeping them up to date would cost a bomb. Now I just pay a small monthly fee that's less than my phone contract. Before CC it was expensive to have the latest updated versions.
If you can't afford to keep paying that then you shouldn't be running a business anyway. People can argue that the cost over a few years outweighs the initial cost but you're then running outdated software whereas I'm running the latest stuff all the time.
Have you ever tried to go back from different versions of software? Even I've complained that updates seem small but you go back a couple of versions and you're pulling your hair out over the little imperfections and features that the new versions have fixed and introduced.
It also means when I take on extra help and I don't have to shell out a large initial investment to get them the software, I can just set up a CC month by month subscription and cancel it when they've finished.
The video really didn't crash enough to reflect my own experiences.
I'm suing them for false advertising.

I was hoping for the video to use all the released editions of Photoshop, seeing the design change from today to then
