I understand that you'd prefer a different pricing policy for the Cloud but I don't see Adobe changing what they're offering in any major way.
The cloud will at first apeal to the jack of all trades master of none type.
Maybe there is the rare nancy that needs all 17 or 18 titles
Perhaps partly true but it's equally appealing to software experts who specialize in one or two apps.
You don't need to master all titles in order to get value out of the Cloud.
To me, the Cloud appeals if you use 3 or more software titles regularly and others occasionally or not at all.
Many specialists (e.g. Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator) have joined the Cloud and still use their apps daily but now have access to many more Adobe apps than previously so they can expand their skillset.
