I abandoned Adobe completely and moved to ACDSee Photo Studio Professional. I simply won't accept the subscription model, so I decided to pay the price of my stubborness and learn a new workflow.
What did I give up? I'm not precisely sure. I went from Elements 14 to ACDSee and didn't use LR at all.
