Do most pro photographers use Photoshop?

I used to buy a version of Photoshop every three or four years. It's never seemed worth it to me to upgrade every version (I'm still on CS4). As I understand it Adobe is going to change their upgrade policies and introduce new subscription pricing to force people to buy their product more often. I am currently investigating other processing software options. I'll probably go to Lightroom (as long as they keep it cheap), but I do want to check out GIMP. I'd rather spend that extra $1000 a year on bodies and lenses. Processing is important to me, but I only need the fundamental tools. I can get by without the automation and fancy stuff. Content Aware Fill sounds neat, but I don't think I'd ever need it.
