That's very true. Photographers get a $10 bundle of Lightroom and Photoshop.=
 Designers have been pleading with adobe to do something similar with a PS A=
I and I thjnk ID bundle. If that happens I would hope the video community to=
 rally together for a bundle like AE PR and PS for around $30 a mo. If you n=
eed one more app u can do a single now for 10 a month. So that's still $40. A=
nd that seems decent. If you need more than there's the $50 all you can eat.=
=20

Of course the issue is why would adobe switch? Designers have it rough bc th=
ere aren't really any alternatives for them to switch to.=20

The only ones with any power are editors as premiere has several decent alte=
rnatives these days. And then they can keep ae and ps cs6 around till they w=
on't run anymore
