A striking shot that I've come back to several times.

A couple of days ago the screen on my D3 died.
I really like the D3's I had, but needed more pixels at the time.  Now I know how long they would have lasted if I had kept them.

My take:  No known raw>process>output>PRINT (important to me) software has everything that Lightroom has in one place.  Also, all the ones I've looked at have an inferior UI (my personal taste in UI's, of course).  I'm not close to being wealthy or well-to-do, but US$118 per year is cheaper than C1! 
Of course, if you're bored with it and are looking for a new challenge, like trying to figure out what 90 different unique and arbitrarily-designed icons mean, go get C1, DXO, On 1, Luminar, etc.

Nothing replaces Lightroom.

I've tried several options but none of them are as intuitive for me as a photographer.  It's comfortable and familiar.  I'm old and pretty simple-minded and I don't wanna learn new languages and skill sets at this point in my life.  I just suck it up, send my monthly fee to Adobe and continue with LR.

Actually, no. Someone read the legalese of the latest terms of service (written by lawyers for lawyers) and drew conclusions of entirely the wrong order. The Internet Amplification Effect took over from there. Adobe learned a painful lesson in public relations, but they did learn it.

Here is their explanation of the terms of service in plain language. It is nicely done.

https://www.adobe.com/legal/terms.html

They are not helping themselves to your images. They need your permission to do certain things that their software is designed to do for you. If it is on their servers then they have legal obligations to check for prohibited material. Only images submitted to Adobe Stock will be used for training their AI engine, as clearly stated when you sign up for that service.

So you can relax and keep using Lightroom :)

Well said.

I love the very special rendition of the Rodenstock TV-Heligon 50mm f/0.75.

Here with the tiny Z30 as the mate of the massive lens. An unequal pair, for sure, however results can be adorable.
