I predicted around 2000 that it would already be HERE by now: make filled square 10x10cm centered, color red. Outline 2 mm black; duplicate 3x top; group; center group... etc.etc.
Yes, but Moore's Law is in my corner. By 2019 we are supposed to be able to buy a $4K computer with the computing speed of the human brain.
Oh my Dawg! MS get's one... yes ONE demo using the Surface... with Illustrator, showing nothing that can't be done on a Mac (or PC!) with a Wacom... and now he's on stage saying how they're all creative mobile first!?
"Creative Cloud isn't for under-employed guys in a basement with apps of dubious ownership. It's for professionals who earn enough in an hour or two to pay for that monthly subscription."
Shame on you for making such foolish assumptions.
17,000 dubious owners of Photoshop on Macs infected with a tag-along malware package say that it's a fair generality.

If Siri, Cortana, or Hey Google can do all it does on a mobile device... what do you think would be possible hooking it up to a design package? It's just that no one's done it yet... but possible it is.
The Russian scientist Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) would have been delighted by this phenomena. Simply say the word "Adobe," and the anti-Creative Cloud dogs began to bark and howl.

* They get features as soon as they're developed. Adobe doesn't have to hold back the Really Big Stuff for the next major project update. CC-2014 added marvelous new fixed-layout features that, under the old system, might not have been released for months. For designers, that's money in the bank.
* Professionals tend to focus on one or two apps for most of their work. But when a project requires dipping into another, it's there as part of the CC membership. No need to buy that extremely expensive package for apps that hardly ever get used. For one fee, users get everything.
* CC frees Adobe up to add products that might be messy to release as per-app selling but work marvelously as part of a subscription.
These iOS apps illustrate that. They let designers work on the go or sitting in a cafe with a client. The apps will get even better when Apple releases that larger iPad. I only wish Adobe would add a series of apps that mate an iPad with an adjacent desktop, giving users a versatile and flexible touch-screen way to interact with apps such as InDesign. For instance, when I'm indexing, there'd be an easy-to-use indexing screen on my iPad, one that's designed to be easier and quicker than mousing around on my Mac.
Thanks for perfectly illustrating how to paint everyone with the same $49-per-month brush. Do you work for Adobe? Now I know that because I don't use Adobe software as you outlined above, I no longer qualify as a professional.
I have a regular Monday-Friday full time job as a designer in a print shop. Things are tough in the print industry, especially in a small town like mine. I can't convince my bosses to get CC unless CS6 stops working.
I also do the occasional job at home so I have my own paid for copy of CS6. Why would I pay a subscription when I only use it once and awhile? If I just need to quickly open a file and check something? $49 to Adobe.
Adobe offers a Photoshop/Lightroom bundle at a reduced price, so why stop there? I'm never going to "dip" into another app so paying for all the apps when I only need 4 or 5 is ridiculous to casual professionals such as myself. If Adobe ever offers a "Graphic Design" bundle then I might consider it.
Is it really hard to offer more for the casual user? Of course not. Adobe did it before. But Adobe wants the subscription model and it's guaranteed regular flow of income, casual users be damned.

I don't think Adobe has ever marketed itself as "casual" software.

More likely is the massive number of stolen copies of Adobe software floating around in China.

Why are you so worried about going offline, you've pretty much posted every day on the forum for the last 9 years.
