Of course, this is a gear forum and I'm sure a high percentage of forum participants upgrade everything all the time as soon as possible.

My sense is that in 2023 the new updates are costing more for improvements that are more incremental than in the past. The issue for me is that I want to decide whether the update or upgrade is something I want to pay for - I don't like subscription models for editing software because I don't want to pay for the new features, improvements or compatibility updates if I don't think I need them. I'm not saying I won't ever update my software (or buy a new camera or lens). I stopped using C1 when they stopped offering an update prices for new releases and expected me to pay the full new purchase price for an updated version of their software.
