It has taken me years to learn a fraction of what is available in Photoshop, I don't have the time to explore the competition and learn all the idiosyncrasies they will undoubtedly contain. No matter HOW good the offering may be.

I do yearn for the Nik zone feature, I find it immensely useful to be able to select a tone or area of an image with a single click and adjust that alone. That's why I want to re-activate the NIK filters in the latest update.

I have run Ps CC 2017 this evening. My initial encounter has not been without it's snags... On opening an image either directly or from Lightroom, results in a black screen. The image is there, the file is open but for some reason it's just not showing. I have to go to 'View'> 'Screen Mode' and change the screen mode then the image shows up. It may be due to my two screen setup, I did have the (Apple) Menu bar hiding and showing on mouseover and as a result some software lost it's top bar. I have turned it off for now and Ps seems to be behaving now.

To be honest, I don't see much difference with this version, I watched the video but the 'enhancements', such as they are, are of little interest to me.

I spent a few minutes editing this image... Taken from the Southern Nature Reserve on Walney Island. The lighting was very tricky, shooting almost directly into the Sun.

Nikon D3, 70-300 f4.5-5.6, @300mm, 1:2000Sec at f8, ISO 200
