Today I got an email from Adobe, titled: Answers to your Creative Cloud questions.
It seems, Adobe is having a hard time selling its Creative Cloud. In this email, they explain that you can use those apps without being connected to the internet. That you are not forced to use the cloud backup. That the apps are installed on your computer, etc.
I even believe them. For now. But imagine what will happen, once they have reached a critical mass moved over to Creative Cloud. We are already slaves to their interests. Adobe has always been manipulating us with their strategy of backwards compatibility restrictions - always been strong in abusing their market domination. But now after that move, they will have complete power over you and your work process. Maybe not instantly with this version of Creative Cloud. But with one that follows. And they will know precisely how to force you into it.
Be aware. Stay away from Creative Cloud!
