I've been using LR since version 1. Nowadays, I mostly take in RAW so despite the steep learning curve, I'll be switching to Capture One. It's not that a monthly sub is not to my liking as a matter of principle but I'd begrudge paying out monthly for something that I might not use every month, let alone every day.
Presupposing you use the desktop version of LR, what will you do?
