I am starting to actively hate Adobe. Like others, I've long known that C1 is a better raw converter but for DAM, and for wider camera compatibility, plus the fact that I committed to it years ago and have a massive catalogue of images and their edits stored in it dating back ten years or more, LR has been essential to me.
Now withe the forced update cycle, they have screwed up large.
Firstly, no serious photographer with a huge catalogue is ever, ever going to use the new LRCC - for two reasons: 1) the cost of the cloud storage would be immense and 2) the upload of existing assets would take forever even on a fast connection. My catalogue is terabytes. As an additional factor 3) I am not a child, and I don't need access to everything everywhere.
SO I have to use LR CC Classic as they call it. Only on my Mac Pro late 2013 with 6 fast cores and 64GB ram, it won't run. It freezes constantly, says 'Loading' all the time, won't let me see files at all in Develop view, and is generally utterly useless - and yes I have turned off the graphics processor and followed the other tips and tricks.
Adobe used to be so cool, so useful, so listening. Now they are insistent on giving us not what we want, but on what they want to sell.
We'll see how that ends.
