I've taken up photography as a hobby (quite some time now) and Affinity is sure worth its price. Surprisingly, there is even an open source app (RawTherapee) which beats Lightroom with no sweat. I still don't have a solution for organizing photos, but I think I'm going to settle on ACDSee, which seems pretty well geared towards my needs. So while the desktop doesn't feel as vibrant as it used to, there is still quite a bunch of players in this field who keep up the good work. I'm not going to buy any subscriptions. And luckily I don't need to, since the classic funding model in this space still brings better apps.

Digikam appears to have a Mac version, but I don't know if the port is any good. It has a lot of what was lost when Google killed Picasa. https://www.digikam.org/ https://www.digikam.org/

  I tried it on Linux and it appeared quite buggy, and unpolished. Although it may have been the fault of Debian patches (it's quite obvious that it's not the vanilla version). From videos on YouTube, it seemed that ACDSee is quite polished and exactly what I want on the other hand, so I'm going to try that - first with a trial version and then if I like it, I'll buy it.
