Anybody who believes that price has little to do with Adobe’s woes is like Adobe, snorting the wrong herb. Adobe has the Microsoft disease of paying more attention to the balance sheet/stock price than they do to their customer’s needs. You can only shove so much down our throats before we throw up. A much lower price means broader adoption, more money for training and experimenting and less of a need to use pirated software. And then maybe we won’t throw up as much. What a lower price does not mean is less money for Adobe.

I prefer CS3 flash, CS4 properties panel take to much screen space + what tap said.

I’m still Learning all the advantages and pros of CS3, Flash 9 was a mayor break thru and still is amazing… flash 10 has so little advantage for a capable coder that I don’t even consider it. I’m still fascinated with AS3 and the good work they did with the whole suite.

The only thing I NEED from CS4 is the multi-page for Illustrator… but I wouldn’t change it for the inline help documentation.

The thing with Flash is… or mobile phones addopt it or it’s over. Flash Lite sucks, low-level Javascript is way better and more ubiquous.

So, I’m having all the fun with Flash while I can.

I couldn’t agree more w/ the comments posted by “WilR”. The prices are astronomical enough w/out having to upgrade software every year.

I too would like to see Flash become more designer friendly; however, I think the entire CS3 suite was a ground breaking improvement on the workspace of the program, and would never go back to CS2.

For me is mostly the price, so i’m not even thinking about upgrading my home system. And for the new features in PS/AE/PR there’s really no reason to tell my boss to update either.

Also,I’m waiting to see if Flash cs5 gets a bit more designer-friendly or they’ll go back to the actionscript-only fest that was cs3.

And even though llustrator finally added multiple pages, it feels crippled, so if you have indesign then there’s no need to update.
