    Well, Adobe is not “household” software. :-)

    But there are a lot of other software, that people have a hard time letting go of. Like Affinity, Scrivener, certain games, a lot of small programs/apps, like FastStone apps (Image viewer and more), AllMyNotes, ActionOutline, Duplicate cleaner 5, EZ CD Audio Converter and more…

        Which everyone doesn’t do. By your definition, every software is household. Come on, please relate to this with common sense.

          It may be me being a millenial, but I’m used to Photoshop being widely pirated. It used to be Adobe’s strategy to let people do that because that meant more people who knew how to use it and therefore more business sales.

      I always recommend Loreforge as a replacement for Scrivener. I had no problem swapping once I spent a little time in Loreforge. It’s even available on Windows so they can try it ahead of time.

        Loreforge

        It’s a good alternative, but it’s subscription based, and that’s a no go. Thanks for telling me about it though.

        My guess is, that you haven’t heard of a lot of apps or games, that a lot of people enjoy using… But it’s really of little consequence to the debate here, what you have heard of. :-)
