I'm going to take the opportunity of Adobe's reprieve for Animate to say: if your career depends on software that you have to rent, start investing in something else RIGHT NOW. You're only safe if a program is open source or a one-time purchase that doesn't require internet connectivity. When you "subscribe" to software, it can become too expensive, lose specific features you need, or be killed outright. At least one of these things will definitely happen, eventually—probably before you retire.
I want to get this out there now, before Adobe comes back and finally kills Animate in a couple years. I won't be a grumpy old scold saying "I told you so", so I promise that this will be the last thing I say about this.
