Not hardly a fair comparison to compare software you've tried for
several weeks to software you've been using for years.

I have been working with On1 for several weeks, and finding the organization
and UI increasingly frustrating. The instructional aids are crappy (yes, there
is a manual that you can download from the On1 website .. it's better than the
videos IMO but not much). To the extent that I actually stopped using it and
installed Lightroom Classic on my Catalina system.. I can get so much more done
with Lightroom in so little time. Sigh. There are things about Adobe in general
that make my skin crawl, but that which works best for my photography is what
I'm after.
I only downloaded Lr Classic … I haven't touched Photoshop in years, and in the
extraordinarily rare moments when I might need something it has, Affinity Photo
does as well.
I don't think the $80 I spent on On1 Photo RAW is a waste. It can work as a
plug in to Lr and has some additional capabilities that work well. I just think
it's overall UI and workflow is not up to what I want/need for my photography.
My next stab at total Adobe removal is going to be RAW Power by Gentlemen
Coders. It has the additional advantage of being able to run all three—macOS,
iOS, and iPadOS—and works in tight conjunction wiith Photos and the existing
Photos image libraries. I've dabbled with it and so far like it. To evaluate it
effectively, I will make an effort to actually learn Photos as well as RAW
Power.
I must say: Studying the other offerings on the market points out to me how
good a job Lightroom is. Adobe is the irritating part of it. Sigh again.

Just terminated my Adobe ransomware subscription for LR and PS.
Whoever it was on this list who made me aware of ON1 Photo RAW, I don't
remember, but if you know who you are...
You've done me a great service. Thanks again, mate!
