However, what makes me hesitant to recommend outright Adobe Creative Cloud is that Adobe seems to want the same amount of control over its users. The two have a superb level of polish, providing unparalleled control over the photo and video materials.

Skimming the pricing plans, I also noticed paying a fee to cancel your subscription.

It’s not an empty threat because trying to leave Adobe’s walled garden can be a problem - anecdotal reports mention that files/projects can be a hassle to export en masse. This clause appears designed to squelch people sharing bad experiences with Adobe over social media. The real gem is in section 11.2 (D), where Adobe reserves the right to ban users who have “repeatedly made complaints in bad faith” and keep doing so after Adobe politely asks them to stop. However, this “does not apply to paid accounts in good standing.” Unfortunately, there is no definition of inactivity or good standing, giving Adobe unlimited power to do whatever it pleases to any of its users or their accounts. Section 5.2 of Adobe’s General Terms of Use states that inactive user accounts may be closed at Adobe’s sole discretion. While inside, the visitor is subject to many of Adobe’s micromanaging rules.
