So Apple is copying Adobe's business model?

Well really they are copying the original Microsofts suite packaging which everyone has copied over the years! But yes specific they are trying to take market share on Adobe.

Its actually like taking on MS and Adobe together... but they aren't really taking on MS office.

I am still waiting for "XCode for iPadOS", where we can have a Smalltalk like approach to development, beyond what Swift Playgrounds allows for.

God fucking damn not you too, Apple. Adobe isn't a role model to emulate. I hate Adobe's practices. The whole world hates Adobe's practices. I want to pay for a thing with my money and then use it without worrying about ongoing costs, the UI changing, features breaking, or shit being shoved down my throat because some seedy PM wants a raise.

EDIT: I know you can still buy the software... but for how long?

Is this replacing the one-time purchase of these apps on macOS?

That's great if you need everything. If you need one of them, not so much.

Too bad they killed Aperture.
