The actual horror is the DRM and the forced updates that come along with it. Nothing is stable anymore, all things are fragile, forcing you to develop against a rolling release by default and good luck expecting something working. The only provider of stable releases for some software by now are pirates. So you buy the license, to be safe legally, and then you use warez, cause the DRM is shit by default, trying you to buy more licenses, and they know they can wiggle out of all responsibility, even the ones stated in the license agreement if they can get you to switch to pirated software.
Open source, looks prettier every day.
