Something that confuses me with respect to the creative cloud pricing model is why there aren't more options? For example, why is it that only the entire "master suite" is available for $50/month, and not more affordable options that might allow users to select certain applications-- a la carte-- and create a custom subscription plan? Say I really only need Dreamweaver and Photoshop, and I like the idea of paying a subscription fee as opposed to one (huge) lump sum for the retail box-- seems it would be wise to accommodate such a need via the CC, no?
I know many artists and designers for whom $600/year is frankly cost-prohibitive, and who would likely get on board with some more affordable options available.
