I've been using Open Source Software for about 20 years. Lightroom was pretty much the first commercial software that I would openly recommend based on it's price, performance, quality, features and ubiquity. Every version through LR 5 was noticeably better than the last with significant "must have" new features.
LR 6 added two features (HDR and panorama merging) that could be really, really nice, with some simple modifications (like being able to choose which regions of which frame are used in the final image. Lightroom 6 also added a tremendous amount of suck, from stupid mistakes like having to re-enter the target directory every time you export to the hard drive to their rigid enforcement of it only running on two machines at once, and their making it rather challenging to buy and install the standalone (non-CC) version.
There are a lot of things that I like about the way they manage the library, and it would be a pain in the ass to separate my photo catalog between two different image processing systems, but unless LR7 has a metric shitload less suck as standard features than LR6, I'll be looking for a non-adobe photo editor.
