  Quark is probably taking a wait-and-see approach, and if Adobe doesn't experience a major backlash over CC, they'll follow suit.  Adobe isn't uniquely "evil" ... they're just the ahead of the curve in trying to switch to a software rental model.  Microsoft, Google, Apple, AutoCAD, Corel, and every other developer out there would love to start billing by the month.

  A lot has changed since I wrote this, so I wrote a new blog post talking about the current state of the technology. http://jaqrabbit.com/blog/tools-for-digital-drawing-in-2018/

  I really liked that piece. I have my own opinions of course, but I definitely thought that it would be informative for someone who wants to start out on the cheap.

  You're welcome to have your opinions, of course. What are you wrong about?

  Not much, just nuances. You covered a most of the bases that were worthwhile to explore.

  Corel has since started a "billing by the month" option, but they're not closing the door on "buy once and done" yet. Microsoft, on the other hand, has since gone all-in on monthly-billing.

  Further thoughts: Serif is sticking with "buy once and be done" for their Affinity suite. Which I count to the good.
