I would tend to agree with Thom here. Most of the initial promise hasn't been delivered on, additional features have been of limited value, Adobe is making less money from my business, I still hate the subscription model.
I really still wonder who came out better from CC. It still sounds like a perfect lose-lose proposition.
Cheers,

I fully agree with both, Thom and Bernard.
Installing all those trial versions without a consent, thus cluttering the disk drives and requiring extra work to delete them, is at best irresponsible, and at worst it can render some of the computers unusable.
As to the subscription model, I would divide my circle of PS and LR users into three groups:
About one third converted to CC (and at least half of those were indirectly coerced into it just to take advantage of the "temporary PS/LR $9.99 price")
another third, myself included keep using PS CS5 or CS6, and not missing Camera Shake filter or any of the upgrade complications,
and the last group switched to PS Elements, Gimp, Instagram, iPad editors, or other simple editing programs, some using just C1, Irridient Developer, or perpetual version of LR
Based on the chatter in various forums, it seems, that if Adobe raises the $9.99 monthly subscription price, the exodus from the from first group would be much greater than any prospects from the second group, wishing to upgrade to CC.
Most "noncritical" users in the third group are perfectly happy with their existing tools and they are unlikely to migrate to any of the other two groups.
