Which proprietary software do you prefer over their open-source alternatives, and why? (lemmy.ml)

Lightroom. There are lots of alternatives for editing some even FOSS but I haven't found any usable alternative to the library of Lightroom...

That’s the one. Every alternative wants to compete with the Develop module, but the Library is really what makes Lightroom so useful and hard to quit.

Yes I use Lightroom for my library and DxO Optics Pro for editing. Darktable isn't bad but it doesn't do the job nearly as well as those two softwares.

Yep. I refuse to update my OS because I'm still hanging on to my non-cloud version of Lightroom 5. No way I'd pay Adobe for like the 5 times I use it per year

I don't know if you really need Lightroom, if you only need it like five times a year?
