There are some very capable RAW processors, other than Lightroom.
I haven't bought a new Adobe product in quite some time and I feel
pretty smug about that, as Adobe has developed all the highhandedness
of MIcrosoft at it's peak and the arrogance of Apple selling iProducts,
with features removed to satisfy their design aesthetic whether you
like it or not, so you better like it.
Smaller vendors sometimes fail to support older products because they
simply haven't the resources, but I see little excuse for would be
monopolists to abuse their position and simply design systems to milk
the consumer, once they think their customers are locked into their system.
I don't know of anyone who complained of having slightly outdated
software if what they had did the job. They bought the upgrade when
they needed it and if they didn't need the upgrade soldered on with what
they had.
I've heard stories of CC upgrades significantly changing controls. I
don't know how true that is but I have had that happen with an upgrade
to Windows 7 it changed the shutdown behavior without telling me.
Which is a problem, I thought I was shutting the system down, but
instead it put the machine into sleep mode. It's probably not a good
idea to pull the power supply, and remove a hard drive at that time, but
that's what I almost did.
It's annoying enough to move between major revs of a software package
and find features significantly changed when you expect such changes,
DxO optics Pro 9 changed the rendering and export options almost
completely from version 8 which took a lot of getting used to. I can
only imagine how wonderful that would be to fire up Lightroom CC and
find a similar thing happening after a minor update.

First, Lightroom 6 will be the final standalone version of Lightroom.
There will be a Lightroom 6.3 update that will provide Nikon D850
support (which is here now for Lightroom Classic CC, Lightroom CC, and
Photoshop CC), but that's all that we can expect. There will be no
further updates after this year to Lightroom 6. While Lightroom 6 will
still be available for an unspecified amount of time, going forward,
there will simply be two new subscription-only desktop versions:
Lightroom Classic CC and Lightroom CC.
