Arrrrrghhhh! Has Adobe deliberately made it impossible to leave the cloud?

Adboe Lightroom screengrab with pic by Adam Juniper of zombies.

I wanted to leave Adobe Creative Cloud because it's expensive. The thing is, I'd also started to save some of my files into the 100GB of cloud storage included with the deal. I needed to download my files first, and store them – more cheaply – on one of my own drives. The problem? Adobe made the whole experience incredibly frustrating and difficult, and it took me days!

Now, I can't say for sure that this system is designed on purpose to prevent me from leaving – but it sure feels like it, and I'm definitely not alone in feeling this way.
