I see this as a price increase for me for sure, but I have 2 real problems with the subscriptions as a freelancer….

1. Maybe I'm just paranoid but I am quite nearly sure that I will be somewhere without internet access and on a deadline and my software will want to check-in online and will stop me from working until I do… I will need some sort of guarantee that this will not happen. ever.

2. I need to keep multiple versions around for clients that are stuck on older versions… I have not seen how will that work.

maybe my math is off but $400 every 18 months seem less than $50 every month, and are they going to bill you or automatically charge you credit card - so some finance charges may apply (if you don't pay it off each month) - I for one don't need another month bill/subscription. I hate the every version requirement - I was kind of a every other rev - mostly because I work with people who stay on old versions because they are comfortable - I had a artist friend that stayed on 6.5 well into 8.

I like the 50 per month as well, especially if that becomes a global price.
32 euro at the moment's fine.  Easy to write off as cost and no depreciation on the software.
I like.
So long not there is not a permanent internet connection necessary as I do work on stuff at places without connections sometimes.
