Hmm. Well, it hasn't been all that long, I got PP2012 on the pre-release, so it wasn't that bad. But with a little, "look what discount you can get if you have both of these," whicn at the time I was running P7, then found nicely discounted P8 and Pro 2010, which I bought just to get the heavier discount on 2012. All of which saying I was pretty happy with P7 and didn't really have the inclination to go to a higher version at the time. But, my normal is to not upgrade as soon as something is released, usually a year, maybe two, I ran P5 for quite a few years, P7 was out when I got P6.
But, in other softwares, Serif Photo Plus 10, Page Plus X-2, Draw Plus 8, all of which I know are old, but the newer versions went too much like a certain company that did windows would have done. Which is, "9999 functions, 9997 that you will never need, and we hid the other two." Wings, I haven't checked for updates for maybe a year, I'm two versions behind on TurboCad, and I don't see where they're offering me anything that I can't live without. Gimp, haven't checked that for a while either. I Have PS essentials, but after it messed up one computer enough I had to reformat, I'm not putting it in another one. Even if it was free.
If I see no personal gain, advantage or what have you, then it's a no sale until there is an advantage to me. Then maybe. Sometimes not.
