I have a full CC subscription because it makes sense for me. I regularly use more than three of the apps (it's actually, like, 7 that I use frequently), and it would be detrimental to me to have to learn a new user interface to do what I do in each of those apps, even if there are programs that are free or less costly. As long as you're using more than 3 apps regularly, it's actually cheaper for the CC version than upgrading every two versions, iirc from when I did my cost-benefit analysis (Yes, I had the choice between the CS6 suite and a CC sub. CC sub turned out to be cheaper in both the short and long term for the programs I needed). And you get the upgrades and bugfixes as soon as they're released (you can update them whenever you wish through the CC app) rather than having to wait for whatever version you're upgrading with. 

Granted, there are a few things that are slightly annoying. Sometimes the CC app only wants to upgrade one app and then all the others fail. Solved by shutting the thing down and restarting it, but...annoying. Occasionally (once every couple-to-three) months, Acrobat will just CLOSE and the license checker thing will pop up. Acrobat is the only one that closes, thus far. Photoshop and Premiere both allowed me to work in the background while it checked on my subscription. It doesn't check every time you use it, either. It's just an occasional thing, although it is very slightly annoying. 

More annoying is that the Photoshop bug still exists that if you open PS with your mouse instead of your table stylus, PS will not read any sensitivity from your tablet. Fix is to make sure you open the app with the stylus, but it's still annnnnnooooyyyyyinnnnnngggg. 

I use MangaStudio more for drawing than Photoshop now, but all of my image editing, painting, and postworking I do in Photoshop.
