I guess it depends on the apps you use but I think cc is incredible value. The master collection used to cost over 2 grand, I pay £38 a month, which for Premiere and after effects alone is cheap. Also the whole paying Adobe for the rest of my life thing is kind of nonsense, all software has a life span and you inevitably get forced to pay to continue to use it one way or another. Apple continually kills software or make changes to the OS that requires newer hardware for example. You can also stop your subscription and if a client comes back pay for a month and bill them for it.

Maybe if you use everything its good value, but you are forced to subscribe to a lot of software you don't need. Also, reg lifetime payment, you do have to, as they take away the apps once you stop paying. There was time where I could buy CC outright and I could stick with it for as long as I wanted, now you need to keep paying to keep up to date to keep opening your files as as soon as you stop the apps vanish, unlike the Adobe CS3 CD I have in a draw somewhere... Software doesn't have a lifespan, it doesn't degrade over time, or wear out, the computer you are using now will work the same as it does today in ten years time so long as you don't change anything.

I don't mind paying for stuff thats good and works, but paying £50 (to Adobe) for the rest of your working life (if you ever want to open those files again) can jog the fuck on...
I have CC via who I work for atm but if I ever lose that I'm buying Affinity for myself... cheers for the link!
