What would be more interesting is to compare over 10 years for someone who buys upgrades (CS2->CS3->CS4 etc.) as they come out.

Additionally the individual Dreamweaver price is very high compared to "All Apps" plan at $660 per year.

but nobody does that, really.

most people i know skip entire versions of windows (eg: 7->10), let a lone individual software releases.

Heck, even pirates sometimes skip versions.

I remember installing and using pirated versions of Photoshop 6, and then Photoshop 7, and then Creative Suite 2.

I bought an academic license for Creative Suite 4 Master Collection.

Later I subscribed to Creative Cloud for a while. But I swore to not buy from Adobe again after that because that was actually a bad experience.

You just reminded me that Windows 8 was a thing, I had to check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows#Version_hist... to remember it.

Which is why subscription software is better for everyone. Everyone is on the latest version.

You say that, but then stuff like OnePass and Dropbox decide to reneg their subscription services down-the-line or simply make their clients worse. A lot of the time, a subscription to a program gives the developer no incentive to iterate on what already exists.

Why does everyone have to be on the latest version?
