I still have a copy of the CS6 suite that works just fine.
Every program in it was stable.
If you are still not sure what to replace Adobe with. A Twitter user put this together. Very helpful!
Remember don't let these companies like Adobe think they have the upper hand and take advantage.
They are replaceable.

That's good! I think I'm just tired of Adobe and their shinanigans. Most of the art I like to do is physical media anyway. What I mainly use is after effects, but I'm finding Da Vinci Resolve a suitable replacement.
I hear even the free version is awesome. Might have to look at it.
Might as well give it a shot! Just a warning, there is a learning curve since the tools are slightly different. I know that bothers some people. But if you watch a few tutorials or just mess around its great.
