Very much so. I am perfectly willing to pay hundreds of dollars for a perpetual license. I run many machines and can refer back to a project years later. Not so with a subscription, generally.

I do like the new model where you pay for a perpetual license and have the option to subscribe to annual updates. That's a win-win. I do want developers to make a good living. I also want to be able to access my files from 1997 if I choose.
