I've always found elements far more complex & powerful than I need. I've had a copy available since 2011 and can count the number of times I've used it on my fingers.
I find the free FastStone to be really simple & yet capable of doing the vast majority of what I need. It's not good for selective processing (no layers & masks) and I wouldn't try panoramic stitching, focus stacking or HDR with it, but for hue, brightness, contrast etc adjustments along with dust removal, resizing, cropping etc. it works well.
