Personally I am not a fan of 'renting' software and the fact that you never stop paying for it bothers me. I know many creative professionals write it off as the cost of doing business - but I have a hard time getting onboard with that philosophy.

What happens if someone whacks the Cloud a la Sony and Microsoft? You want to work on your photos but can't.

UNIX has powered just about every high end system for decades, you moron.
I like your waterboy "UNIX"; that's cute. Can you tell the class exactly how much source code the Linux and Unix kernels share, which would support or totally deflate your asinine suggestion that Linux and Unix are the same?

Which distro of LINUX? I use Ubuntu myself, but I'm pretty familiar with all the Debian distros and I learned to programme servers with UNIX. So, want to play?
I didn't ask you to do your dance, I directly asked you: Can you tell the class exactly how much source code the Linux and Unix kernels share? (I'll even throw out the "exactly" so you have no logical excuse whatsoever).
How about answering that first before you start dancing again?
Bonus pt: Can you tell the class why your "UNIX" itself despises anyone even referring to Linux as Unix-like at all?

I thought I would hate it. Draconian DRM and all that. The frequency of updates has made it worth it, though. Yes, it is very expensive, but for the amount of software you get it does seem justified.
Also, I love the UNIX/linux argument going on here. It just makes my heart glad that people are still having that conversation.

Um, how can UNIX despise anything? It isn't sentient, you know. If it was it might be a bit more user friendly.
Won't answer the core question, yet shows up when called. Good boy. How about another chance?
Why isn't Linux UNIX-certified, yet OS X is? What specifically makes the core code difference between OS X and Linux? (See what I did there? Answered the question for you.)
And: if every flavor of Linux is actually Unix as you assert, why doesn't The Open Group, which controls Unix and owns the "UNIX" trademark, sue all of the flavors of Linux for copyright infringement? And why do they despise the term "Unix-like" when it is applied to Linux?
And, of course, one more time: how much source code do the Linux and Unix kernels share?

It's not cloud like that. You still have the software installed locally. You can work offline no problem. The cloud storage and collab functions are optional. I use niether. You'll need to sync with the servers now and then to keep your license and software updated, but I think it's like once a month tops.

I use it for work, so I can write off the cost easily. My only problem is that the package deals are weird. I don't need the whole shebang. I ended up getting the pacakge with Photoshop and Lightroom (cheaper than Photoshop standalone for some bizarre reason), plus Premiere Pro.
I hate Premiere Pro though, it sucks for fast basic cutting which is 90% of what I do, so I ended up buying Premiere Elements instead. My more elitist colleagues laugh at me and my inferior gear, until they see how fast I finish my projects with exactly the same quality as theirs.

My buddy - who is an amazing video editor - had a horrible experience with Adobe CC back in the Spring. There was some sort of outage or hack or something which left him locked out of all of his software. (I'm sorry - I can't remember all of the details) It lasted about two and a half days before he could get back in. He was working on a project, with a deadline and the outage really left a bad taste in his mouth. But then it came back online and everything was fine.
