$479.00 is a lot dollars to pay for one application (CS4 Ext), so is $299 (CS4 Ext SE).

Photoshop, and especially CS4 is PURE functinality. I've used it (Photoshop) professionally in the publishing trade since 1990 (Version 1.0). Since version 3 (about 1994), I have never really encountered a bug - ever. "Full of bugs"?? - sorry, but that's simply not true. You seem to be hung up on the "hype" and "bug" bandwagon. You're obviously on the wrong train! CS4 is a $299 upgrade, and the full price is around $1500. The whole Creative Suite is up around $five grand - and worth every penny. There is a huge amount of development and testing that has gone into the Suite. It's used every day by ad agencies and publishers to create material worth millions in print. We don't use second rate software.
