Adobe sure has their head's up their asses with the CC bullshit...Why The EFF-EWE-SEA-KAY would I want my business to close because my interweb is down!!!! (They say an active net connection isn't needed to use CC apps, but I guess that's only a half-truth...)

I've always had issue with things that are internet dependent. At my house my connection sucks, it's slow ass DSL. Seems the mentality is everyone has superfast broadband everywhere. Programs call home constantly, web pages are friggin huge so it's click, go make coffee and maybe the page will be done loading. Single player games that need a connection in order to play are bullshit.

Adobe already has your CC info... so does a bunch of hackers. They don't need to make sure your program works.

If some enterprising person were to purchase Scribus, Inkscape, and Gimp and throw a PDF editor into the mix it could give Adobe a run for their money if priced reasonably. Maybe a pipe dream but the alternative is that Adobe rules the world.

That would be called PitStop Pro Standalone.   Did I say that?   :undecided:
