And what if their next platform is insufficient for your needs? Then perhaps you'll wish you still had Aperture as an option, but it'll be an obsolete application with no chance of revival.
Why are people downvoting your comments? Is there a pro-Apple, anti-FOSS element here? The more time I spend on web sites with voting, the more I think upvoting should be the only option.

However they radically changed the way the workflow works in ways that some (many?) users cant adapt to. I don't do much any more since I shuttered my production side business, but I can't use the current FCP. It's still (and will always be) missing some do-or-die features for me. The Apple Pro App that I really use though is Logic, and, please Apple--do not "improve" it.
What do-or-die features are missing for you?

Not really that weird. Fast food is, by most metrics, far more popular than Michelin star restaurants. Doesn't mean it replaces them.
McDonalds is probably making more money for its shareholders than The French Laundry, however.

Not a chance. Takes too long to upload and download and the 'cloud' data usage and rights assignment stuff is pretty unclear. My father (a pro) has about 3TiB on a NAS and AIT backup.
Offsite backups are critical. What happens when wherever you're storing those nas drives / tapes gets flooded or destroyed?
Agree entirely. T'was an idiot company I worked for at the time that stored their backups in the basement of the World Trade Centre. Yes that worked out well...

Adobe have picked up the pace massively since CC. I'd call it the opposite of complacency. I work heavily in most of their products (the entire Adobe suite), and the amount of features they are releasing and the speed at which they are doing it, is amazing given their size. If you focus on one product (like lightroom, which is a minor product at best) then sure, it doesn't look like much, but take a look at Edge, InD…
> Adobe have picked up the pace massively since CC. Yes, but it's also the opening stage of this. They would risk a backlash if they started their CC-only period as complacent. After all CS6 still works atm. A few years down the road though? After all Quark was also innovating and caring at first.
