There are alternatives, fortunately. If you need to do a lot of editing, Nitro is pretty good. You can pay about $15 a month for it, or pay a one time cost of like $180 and have a lifetime license. If you don’t like Nitro, there’s plenty of others.
What pisses me off is that Adobe marketing has people locked in with that “Pro Tools” mindset. So many gullible dumbasses think if you don’t use Adobe (or Pro Tools) you just can’t be taken seriously, and you don’t have a “real, professional tool”. I think that is less true today than it used to be, but it’s still out there.
(Meanwhile if you need a Pro Tools alternative, Reaper is the fucking bomb.)
The software is entrenched. If you’re a graphic designer who exchanges project files with others, you have to use Adobe CC because everyone else is. There’s really no way around that unfortunately.
You have more options if you’re a freelancer who doesn’t need to collaborate however.
That’s definitely true. I am mostly complaining about the attitude of contempt some people show for anyone trying to change the landscape. It’s like learned helplessness that morphed into smugness (with some people). I totally get it if that’s what the boss makes you use. It’s not your job to fix that problem.
