Apple abandoned Aperture users. Adobe has not abandoned LR users. Just asking them to pay fair share.
I think it is a fair question to ask you your plan, costs, and effort. Without stating it you are just mad and complaining about Adobe not allowing you to get a cheap upgrade. All the LR CC users have been paying monthly for the function that is now being provided. What would not be fair is for them to offer it to others for $0.10 on the $1.
Nice of you to gloss over the point I made. Which was we should never stop exploring or learning about potential options. Especially if we are content with current options. Our tool selections of choice should be based upon actual experience of what is available and not simply following the 'cool kids' because of popularity. I never said or implied that Adobe abandoned their customers. I pointed out that maybe we shouldn't wait for such occurrences before exploring alternate options. Nothing lasts forever ... including Adobe.
Next ... you have no clue about anything on my mind. I'm not 'mad' at anyone. Nor am I angry. Nor do you have a clue as to what I have paid in licensing fees to Adobe since 1992. Until recently I owned and operated a full commercial photo studio (I sold controlling interest to my brother as I prepare for retirement) with four seats for Adobe products and a custom color print and graphic design business with 12 seats using Adobe products ... 6 full enchilada subscriptions and 6 seats with individual subscriptions for ID, Ps, Lr, and others spread around those work stations. (Prior to CC those stations all had either perpetual licenses for individual apps and/or full Creative Suite packages.) Plus I currently have 2 CC subscriptions as wells perpetual license for Lr 1-6 and Photoshop from v2 (not CS2) - CS6 for my personal use separate from the business. So go ahead, tell me again about paying my 'fair share' ... you have absolutely no clue.
I've been self-employed for over 44 years and have never, not once, ever missed payroll ... and I did all without your input ... so please spare me your observations on such topics.
