Lightroom classic is good, the new one is complete trash as far as UI and performance goes, same with all other new Adobe products. Illustrator, Photoshop. I guess they moved to web tech on the desktop, too.
I agree with the sentiment on the new Lightroom being trash, although I do think something nice came out of Adobe's efforts of the past few years.
One thing that kept me from post-processing a lot of my pictures was the necessity of doing it on the desktop. I'd come back from holidays and didn't really make the time, I guess it can be attributed to laziness.
Nowadays however, I have a subscription for Lightroom and can import the photos on my iPad and edit them on the go, or from the comfort of my couch. I love it.
When I fire up Lightroom classic on the desktop, it downloads everything (originals) I've uploaded on the iPad from the Lightroom cloud. Although this has some inconveniences - it's just dumped into a folder without any regard for organisation - it prevents a complete vendor lock-in. Without that feature I wouldn't have considered this approach.
I love to take pictures, but post-processing is not exactly my favourite activity. I feel that all the tricks I used to get me to develop more on the desktop (e.g. getting a midi board for editing) didn't really get me anywhere, but the Adobe cloud + iPad just did the trick for me.
