For those who need even a small subset of it, Creative Cloud is a bargain. You can get in on the Black Friday or other occasional deals where you're paying $33/month for the whole meal deal. That's nothing! It's also made Adobe MUCH more responsive to fixing bugs and other improvements mid-cycle. Back in the CS days, you'd have to wait sometimes for a full YEAR for them to fix an easily duplicable crashing bug that wouldn't make its way out until the next major release of CS, and those licenses were NOT cheap! Both Flash and Dreamweaver used to kill me with those. It's all around a much, much better situation. I have my gripes about Adobe, but they're at least grounded in actual functionality problems with their software and for solid productivity reasons.
