It's really tempting to use Pixelmator, Vector Designer, OmniGraffle etc., but they just don't have the feature sets we need for web-related work. (Slicing, optimization, device previews etc.) The compatibility between CS4 and CS3 seems to be pretty good, as well, with the exception of InDesign. Photoshop and Illustration don't seem to have major issues, though, so overall I've been happy with both CS4 and CS3. Check out the training videos when you have an hour to burn: they're pretty good and worth watching to built your skillset. OpenRain uses CS4/CS3 for pretty much all our graphics work now.
