I fear that the market is proving less and less attractive for this type of application. The type of photographer that needs, and will pay for, sophisticated applications is being displaced by photography-as-commodity. We've already seen a taste of this with Apple dumping Aperture - which, in some areas, is still superior to anything else on the market - with Photos. Presumably Apple's bean counters did not believe that Aperture at $79 could provide more ROI than Photos at $0. It looks like Adobe's are following the same reasoning. The "Add Photos" dialog has all the visual clues of Flickr/500px while the new Import looks like it fell off Mylio. Maybe the reasoning is that they've sucked dry the standard DSLR guy/gal revenue stream, and to survive they need to pull in the smartphone crowd. It looks that way, although it also looks pretty ham-fisted. As a new convert, or rather returnee, to Lr, I am shocked by the contrast in quality between the Develop and Print modules, and everything else. In particular, the Library module hardly seems have changed since v1, and it is badly lacking in several key areas.
I fear that Adobe will invest in over-simplicity, in sharing, in auto-super-selfie mode, but not in geeky stuff like DAM or publishing tools. Maybe not, but I can't see much of a sustainable business plan, within the context of Adobe, in focussing largely on us "serious photographers".
