Adobe has plenty of competition, I use it myself.

I wouldn't worry about seeing other packages jump on the leasing bandwagon.  You'll get your wish, It'll spread like the plague and it's equally as deadly.  I won't be joining in the stupidity, I'll simply stick to open source if/when any of the programs I use move over to it.

I will not rent software.

Adobe's products are easy to replace.  Take "HitFilm Ultimate" for example, way better than Adobe's After Effects and at a fraction of the price (you only pay once as well).
