On second and third thoughts: I should not act harsh if someone just sounds arrogant and basically not helpful.
This thread already IS about possible destinations to move on because Adobe will not change their behaviour else. So, if you have to contribute anything to alternatives, shoot on. If not - because you only know the Adobe cosmos - then it's fine to understand your message "stay where you are and pay the fee for a lot of not needed features, I don't find it that bad" has arrived.
A couple of people already explained why they are not happy with this money making model, their reasons to seek alternatives are as good as yours to accept Adobe's conditions. At some point "it's good to have alternatives" becomes more than only nice to have - we don't have them really.
Obviously no other manufacturer cares anymore about making a DAM worth to use ist and rely on. Interesting. Some RAW converter alternatives are just one- or few men shows and manage often to deliver updated RAW engines before Adobe wakes up.
