No perpetual license for Lightroom 7
PhotoBomb:
Frankly I hate Lightroom. I wish I didn't have to pay for it in my subscription. I like to shoot tethered and it has cost me hours of wasted time and money trying to make that program work.
I don't like the way is stores and catalogs files I am content just using PS and Bridge.
As soon as they raise the price I'm out and will find something else that works for me.
stockastic:
LR "Classic" will probably see little new development. Any big new features will be in the subscription version. Standalone LR is now a dead end. I'm increasingly happy I switched to Capture One a couple of years ago. IMHO, it's much superior.

IMHO, it can't be "much superior" :P but I respect your preference for C1, since we all built our workflows around a specific set of tools best suited for our needs.
Anyway, this announcement is actually very good news for LR users and I believe there is a good way forward with the current LR+PS combo. ;)
Mantis:
They won't hang on to Classic for too long and that will force every user to the cloud. You want to do a 1200 image 40mp raw time-lapse in LR you will have to upload those to the cloud. That means you will have to pay extra for storage to do that. The cloud version doesn't work from your hard drive so you will now be faced with additional costs just to be able to edit your work. Deal killer. If they end up dumping Classic, as I suspect they will, LR Time-lapse is in trouble.
I wen't to Jo Ann's Adobe link and I can't seem to even find a link to the Classic Lightroom.
Desintegrator:
Try Capture One Pro, Lightroom feels like a toy compared to it. Especially the user interface.
Capture one is has a much more professional feel, good functioning, and quite costumizable interface.
Of course there is no one perfect solution, there some little things that are better in Lightroom. And it it always takes lot of effort to get used to a new RAW development program, and sometimes you just end up with very different looking images than before
