After comparing the subscription price to the full price for Photoshop (~$200 discount off full price), it seems like the service may be viable for one-off users. The occasional photographer, designer, etc. should jump on this. Of course, there's no replacement for a one-time purchase if these tools are for daily/frequent use. In response to the price, though, for a subscription service, it does seem a bit high. Sure the suite packs in a lot of features, but I'm not sure if $35/month is justifiable (let alone $49); especially for one-off users. It really depends on how much value the software contributes to your business.
