Agreed. I'm not a professional, but I'm willing to spend money like a pro and I have gone out of my way to avoid Adobe products due to their business practices. So far the main place that is hurting me is Lightroom. None of the equivalents I've tried are as good (still need to try Capture One one of these days, except they are also starting to be...not great with their business).

Affinity Photo is a pretty good Photoshop replacement, but I'm still waiting for them to release a Lightroom replacement.

Lord knows someone needs to start eating Adobe's lunch. They've had a stranglehold for too long.

I mean Figma has been devouring their lunch to the point where Adobe was prepared to pay them $20bn to stop
Capture One Pro is AMAZING for photography and managing large catalogs of RAW images. It's great for nondestructive editing and is a killer combo with Luminar/Luminar Neo. Also, I'm not sure why, but stock (no 3rd party plug-ins) Capture One Pro seems to somehow make colors pop a bit more than stock Lightroom
