    Buying technology used to be like plucking a ripe apple from a tree. You see, you take, you enjoy.

    Lately, I liken the process to gutting a fish. You now have to skillfully dispose of the unwanted bits, and it always comes with unwanted bits.

    Edit: okay, you have to pay extra for the “professional” version to go back to a less encumbered experience. It’s still bad though.

      Or choose open-source, which is either plucking the apple, or planting the whole orchard from seeds and tending it for years. Coin toss.
