My boss wants to buy the CS4 suite,
I've never tried it but so far I've only heard bad reviews about it and will rather get CS3 which I use at home and is stable.any comments

I am on CS3 and I also only hear bad things about CS4 so I for one am staying put for now.
Does that help?

i just upgraded to a new MBP with CS4. i was working with CS2 for years. so far the transition has been pretty painless. not as bad as people claim it to be.

Print -- stick with CS3, nothing really stand-out that makes it worth the upgrade.
Interactive -- lots of reason to upgrade.

Photoshop CS4 is shit

So many unnecessary annoying add on's that keep slowing down my process.

I am enjoying some of the little features of CS4 in Illustrator in Photoshop... do they warrant a a large sum of cash just to upgrade a few minor features?... Nah. Not really.

These upgrades are too often

What I have heard is that no one has any real genuine issues with CS4, they just like to moan at something new.
The main problem is the size of it and the processor power. So, What you do need is a powerful computer to run it efficiently. The installer is around 6.5GB alone.
I have not used all the programs though.
One main gripe I do have is the massive Hike in cost the Adobe whacked on for everyone in the world except the US

I never had any issue with CS4, I find it more solid and stable than previous versions and actually faster. seriously don't know what do you guys complain about...

<3 illustrator cs4
the alignment stuff is seriously amazing.everything else loads and runs faster for me as well... but have shown me no reason to merit an upgrade.

well if you have neither i'd go cs4.. there will be updates, and eventually you'll need to, as you'll get cs4 files from clients. and it does have some handy features
but the fact that you can't save for cs2 is a fakken joke!! ..for one.
- I agree and the hacky way round is an inconsistent nightmareDancer
