I don't use CS for a few reasons... one, I've spoken with a few people about it, and the only noteworthy new effects that have been mentioned is the ability to draw text to a shape path.
Cool, but not necessary, when I can basically find billions of interesting fonts to use and create nice effects for free.
For another, there's the cost, obviously. I bought the Adobe Publishing Suite when I was running my own business and designing business media for small companies. I'm not running my own business anymore, so the cost of the upgrade is prohibitive.
And the last thing is simply that I believe if you can make cool stuff the hard way, it means you're that much better off than if you can make it the easy way.
