Plus in all honesty, lots of Adobe software behaves like a virus by installing these always running updaters. I haven't had Flash in my laptop for sometime and the web has evolved to a point that it was never an issue, but the CC updater ended up saying I needed to install the latest update to Flash.

I have already tried Pixelmator and the Affinity suite, but after that shady behavior plus the monthly fee, I ended up uninstalling anything Adobe based and just switched completely to Affinity Design and Photo. The only thing I'm missing is when somebody sends me an .ai file in a certain format, but if they export with SVG or with PDF support, zero issues there.
