I suppose I'm indifferent. I bought a few brush packs in the past and liked them, but I'm not a Photoshop guy (I do have CS5 though) and going forward am probably not going to be much of a digital guy either.

As for Adobe, they're adding value yes, but they have competitors which they've not had in the past. Affinity Photo is $50. I use it and I love it. The brush engine needs work, but they can leap to Adobe's level in the next two years. Clip Studio Paint is great. Procreate is $5 and I personally like it better than Photoshop. Can it do everything Photoshop can? No, but every 6-8 months they release an update and add substantial new features. At the end of the day, 90% of digital work could probably be done to a high degree with a soft round, a hard round and a general texture brush. Everything else is convenience and speed. Most people never use most of the features or brushes anyway.
