Moreover, for those who don't upgrade every year, what's the big deal? Just buy CS6 today and then don't worry about it for 4-5 years.
Clients though do not want to see increased pricing though.

The big deal with not upgrading every single time a NEW version of the software comes out is to save money or that the updates are not even worth it.

Dreamweaver CS5 had a solid feature update, Dreamweaver CS6 though does not.

Sure some people have CS6 and will rot on it until death, BUTT how long can it completely work though. Will windows 9.0 run it well?? Will 10.0??? Photoshop CS2 can run on a windows 7 machine, but load up a complex .psd file created in the CS6 version and you can wind up with parts of the file that will not load up right at all.
