I was thinking the same thing. However, based on what I just read elsewhere in these forums, I think it's a valid question.
It seems that LR 6.14 is the last update to the standalone desktop program because Adobe is going to a completely subscription based system where we will be paying each month forever instead of being content with the same program that works for years. If that is the case, it would be good to hear from others who use LR what they think would be good if they decide to not buy into that scheme.
For me, I had been very happy with iPhotos from a few years back and would have been fine using it for many years to come. Then Apple changed iPhotos to a supposedly better version, which I didn't like but still used. Then Apple changed to a water downed app-style program ridiculously called "Photo" and after that I spend a while looking for a program that could organize my 100,000s of photos as well as do simple editing. I finally found Lightroom in September 2016 and have been very happy with it. This new Adobe plan really bugs me because I am tired of tech companies forcing us to change our programs and apps simply because they think the new version is better even though the old version was absolutely fine. I see this new subscription based plan forced on anyone who wants to continue using LR will result in constant unwanted changes (never mind the issues that go with relying on the cloud in general).
Whew-anyway, some suggestions from others who love LR like I do would be nice!
