if you're buying, then PSE 3.0 will do a TON of stuff for $500 less than CS...The GREAT part of elements is that you can look around for 'actions' that allow you to do about 90% of the higher functions of CS even though you can't do them 'directly'
but overall, yeah, it is geared towards more automated tasks, but it is infinitely functional for 90% of the people who think they need CS or 7.0
a good part of 3.0 over 2.0 is the ability to use 16 bit files....the file browser is also much improved over even CS
