Adobe has gone to the subscription model, SAS i guess. ....we'll see if this really works, ikinda doubt it and well see a lot of people just drift off into Logic (remeber FCP ...ummm) or Cubase or whatever...i would love see the sales pitch powerpoint they got so excited over , they decided to ruin the entire company...probably...in any case, theres no NEW features coming that anyone REALLY needs , so this whole amount of hand wringing is fruitless...btw, why are they not buyingup soundminer, and Blackmagic and RED camera and OWNING the post market????

Final Cut Pro both the old versions and the new versions continue to work on the Mac. We can argue that they took away features and undermined the value of the product. However they did not intentionally stop it from working with current computers.
