Actually, Photos is pretty great for a free program that doesn't sell your data. I don't use iCloud for photos, but I do use Photos occasionally for raw editing

Actually, Photos is pretty great for a free program that doesn't sell your data. I don't use iCloud for photos, but I do use Photos occasionally for raw editing. By now it's good enough to replace my slightly old Lightroom license. Of course, when I am done editing, the photos live on my filesystem + encrypted backups :).
