@mattbirchler I wish I could like your argument more, but I really liked paying once for Apple apps like these and leaving it at that. I feel like I'm drowning in subscription fees for every little thing now. I do like the idea of having iPad versions of both of these apps, which I also use almost every day. But I will be sad when they go to subscriptions for the Mac versions. It signals the end of an era of simply owning a software license. I'm a long-time user of the software and expect to continue using it for a long time to come. The economic model where everything is for rent isn't so great for me.
