What apps? Just curious



Lightroom 4 in my case – I've switched to CaptureOne with Adobe's Cloud-only move, but I have a library of old photos that I still need to access from time to time.


For me, Macromedia Fireworks CS4. It does everything I need, so I don't feel like upgrading to Adobe's new cloud subscription plans.

Wow. I have fond memories of FW (in a job far far away).

I'd have _thought_ one of the alternative (i.e. non Adobe) vector apps that came out would be able to replace it though? No? (I'm not a designer by any means, I just happened to fall into a role where I ended up doing some really basic CRUD app UI design work because they had no one else).


“New” subscription plans, started almost eight years ago.

I assume Fireworks runs adequately in your setup but it’s not like that’s your only alternative to a subscription, there’s the Affinity products, Pixelmator, GIMP of course, and I’m sure others that run natively.


MS Office 2011 comes to mind. There are also many macOS games that are 32-bit and were never updated.
