It works better for some apps than others.

Photoshop sometimes throws errors but is pretty stable.

Illustrator has fits and how it regresses new features is a lot of times downright ugly and results in cumbersome files.

Indesign, horrible backwards compatibility, many times it can't resolve what to do with a new feature that was used in a file and just tells you to go f off.

You usually end up loosing effects/plug ins/workflows that your client depends on and that's no bueno.

And how often does Adobe ship new features that are actually bugs? When my systems are stable I want to keep them that way until I have no choice but to update.

I do NOT see more frequent upgrades from Adobe as a benefit, to me it's anything but.
