The $10/month gives you both Lightroom and Photoshop though. Photoshop was $700 with $200 upgrades.

Of course they don't give you a cheaper way to only buy Lightroom which is the annoying part.

Yeah, that was basically my point: if you actually use most of what you get it's a good deal. If your usage has been stable for awhile you're probably overpaying for the possibility that your usage will change.

Photoshop is a steaming pile though

There's plenty of valid criticisms you can make of Photoshop but it's still an astonishing bit of software in many regards.

So - no.

There is no other software that even approaches Photoshop's featureset and ecosystem.

TeX may beat it in terms of features, add-ons, and community.
