Demis, 

      I moved my CS3 apps (all 20 friggin' folders it creates, 1 for every app!)




Because CS3 (or CS, CS2, or CS4) is a Suite of applications -- not one application with a single functionality. Why is this a problem? I've got many times more apps in my Applications folder than this, and there is just no issue with them parked there. They're organized. They're handy. If I need 'em, I can find 'em. Most of the time I just launch 'em from the Dock and I never go into the Applications folder. 

      Even MS Office is ok with renaming/moving!

      Spending thousands of dollars does not entitle you to be picky, so you'd
      better just be happy with what you got, suka!




Basically, I don't understand why the the default installation location is a problem. Most folks spend a lot more time driving than poking under the hood. 

      I wonder if CS4 is more forgiving, and if that is worth the $700 upgrade?




No. Moving applications, application folders or renaming them is just not a good idea. It can affect functionality, updates, or uninstalls. If you must have your apps laid out in a specific location or with specific names, create aliases and put the aliases where you want, or add the apps to the Dock, and leave the Applications folder alone.

Yes. CS4 is worth the upgrade.
