I'm hoping it will improve my bank account.
Actually, I can't think of a whole lot. I have the CS3 suite (the super-duper, super expensive version). I think it works great.
What I mean by this is that I can't think of anything that they could improve to make me shell out again this soon.
The only app that I feel needs real work is Fireworks... I design all my web comps in Illustrator, then chop up what I need in Photoshop. I keep hearing that FW is supposed to be the time saving work flow God Send, but I haven't found it to be true... yet...
I think I'm with mbennett2, not sure I'll be buying this round.

I was very much an Image Ready guy and Fireworks never really fitted in to my flow.

I haven't been following the birth of CS4 too closely, but if Adobe could/has integrated Pantone's Goe system that would be bonus. I've been doing a workaround thus far with the new palettes, but life could always be made Suiter...

If Apple and Adobe could get together and make CS4 work with Leopard before releasing it that would be nice. :)

Good luck on that one. If you recall, Adobe is pissed about Apple's competing applications (aperture, pages, etc.)
I remember a couple years ago when they threatened to stop making adobe apps for mac. That would have alienated a couple people.

You'd think they'd hate to be seen in public sans nose, now wouldn't you?

Yeah, that was almost a big blunder.
I'm just saying it's too bad the customer has to suffer as a result of their differences/arguments. No one wins in the scenario in which we currently find ourselves.

agreed
for me, it's mostly about speed and performance. off the top of my head, there aren't a whole lot of features i think i'm missing. they addressed a whole lot of what i was looking for in indesign cs3, and i spend 80-90% of my time in indesign.
...not sure why.
I had Design Premium and it just stopped working, InDesign and Dreamweaver both just stopped launching, as it turned out I'm entitled to use the company licence for the Master Collection (despite not actually needing it for my day job) ;o), so I uninstalled mine and now have the full suite, which is running better than ever.
