@ M A V I C, sorry to hear that--why are you boycotting CS5?
PS CS3 and CS4 both had a bug in them that often causes PS to crash when layers are dragged in the layers pallet (and apparently for some also when they're dragged in the image window.) Chris Cox said for quite some time this was a known issue. John Nack later said all known issues had been fixed, but that turned out not to be true. Chris Cox pointed the finger at Apple for quite some time saying there was nothing Adobe could do but wait for Apple to fix it. Then Adobe fixed this issue in CS5, so obviously there was something Adobe could have done about it. I know this required rewriting the interface, but if that's what it took, it should have been fixed in CS4 and the issue should have been stopped there. Instead, people who purchased both CS3 and CS4 had/have to live with the crasher.
At the very least John Nack should not have claimed it was fixed when it was not.
Adobe should have done something for all the customers who purchased either or both versions. Instead, if we want the fix, we're forced to pay $$$ for the upgrade.
The only sort of say I seem to have on this issue is voting with my wallet. In this case, CS5 will be the first version my company will not upgrade to. We all have Design Premium.
