I very much disagree with this.  CS2 gives you much more control and 
better color than Canon's software.  You do have to turn off all of 
the automatic controls, although CS2 does give you a good starting 
place.  I don't use custom white balances, however, since RAW only 
records exactly what the camera sees.  I don't want the camera doing 
any processing for me. I'd rather do the white balance in CS2 where I 
can always go back to the original "negative".  CS2 is the best 
upgrade that PS has come out with in quite awhile.  There are many 
features that I couldn't do without now.
