I wish I'd saved the money I wasted on upgrading all my apps to CS6 and just purchased the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite.  I went from Photoshop CS4 to 6 only to get it on the CS6 level so I could upgrade since they quit the three version back business.

Photoshop CS4 worked fine for me and I wish I had just stuck with it.  Dreamweaver CS4 worked fine, but I had serial number issues when every time I reinstalled I had to call Adobe for a Challenge code so I had to upgrade to CS 5.5 to get rid of that problem.  I upgraded it again to CS6 because of the Adobe lies about having to be on CS6 to upgrade to the next version.

For Audition I went from CS3 to CS5.5 which removed some functions from CS3 then to CS6 which put them back.  This is a good example at how Adobe doesn't really add anything to upgrades.  They just take them away and add bug fixes.

Corel has said they have no plans to move only to the Cloud.  They have both available and they cater to both professionals and hobbyists.  I've always wanted to go back to Corel because my Illustrator 10 is long out of date even though it still works.
