I use the now defunct PhotoImpact, and I only understand half of what that does. The advantage with Gimp is that there are masses of tutorials online and a community hell bent on refining the product.
Didn't they introduce some sort of subscription based use? I wonder if that was to try to make legit users of some of those who used a pirated version?
Yeah. Having been a legitimate user of Photoshop from v5 to CS4, I won't be taking the subscription route. Never have used pirated software, too much respect for the developers. Even more respect for developers of freeware. Time will tell if the decision by Adobe was sensible or not.
Nope. It's to "protect their on-going revenue stream".
Lots of software is "good enough" these days, so people don't buy new versions. The only way to continue extracting money from them is to move to a rental/subscription model.

Unfortunately, Moonlight is a bit of a dead end. The Linux links for installation are broken.
However for me, PipeLight works pretty well for running Windows native plugins (silverlight, flash and more) under linux browsers. Yup, some bits of Wine reside under the bonnet.
