Tiana's is a pretty good analysis that cuts through advertising and fan-user fog to put things into a good perspective. For what it's worth, I have CC3+ with most of the add-ons, FM8 and FM9 Beta, OWM and the GIMP. The one place where I would take exception to your conclusions is with OWM ... a program that I rate highly ... but one that is vector-oriented and somewhat weak with raster cartography, which appears to be what the majority of users here prefer.

Servus,
