I almost found a way to justify Adobe Cloud.

Just be careful if buying on line used that the prog is not a pirate copy or the past owner has still got the prog registered to their computer as to get licence keys for older versions is quite hard

same here like what @Dikkie said above .. I use RawTherapee + Gimp (+ sometimes Hugin) and I wouldn't change that .. I have in my photobag a mac book mini for quick field edits with LR and PS there and I don't like it .. My wife is PRO graphic artist, for her is AI, PS and ID a daily bread so I have access to both programs and moreover I have her full support in using Adobe stuff .. bah, I am fine with what I am .. RawTherapee is certainly better than LR, and Gimp, well, it's 300% fine for my needs ..
