But were non-pros spending $700 on a copy of Photoshop in the old days? Or $2,600 for the entire Master Collection?

Any freelancer will tell you that they have variable cashflow. Some months will be good, and some will be lean. Buying the Design Collection of Creative Suite when I had the money, and then only upgrading when I had amassed the cash to do so, suited me perfectly.

A subscription is a fixed cost to my business operation. An upgrade, when I'm ready, is an investment from capital.
