never used a mac in my life. Is there a windows version?

No.

Lightroom has one of the best DAMs, the industry is just now realizing that we want the ability to categorize and organize our images, not just edit them.

You can actually use Lightroom without a subscription, the editing module is the only feature that is turned off without a subscription

This is actually great new. I did not know that the DAM part can be used even without an active subscription.

I've really never liked subscription models when it comes to software. I get Netflix and the like because its content I would otherwise not consume, but when it comes to software, I have a particular need to fill. With Adobe telling users they can't use the older software due to licensing issues, it seems as if they are just trying to push us away.

I don't know how a huge company like Adobe couldn't put a full version of Photoshop on the iPad Pro (they are working on it, at least they showed us 6 months ago, and even at launch it won't have all the features), yet Affinity has a great app that is intuitive and no subscription required. Affinity also has a desktop app and I'm definitely going to be going that route. I could get Affinity for the price of about two months of Adobe's subscription.
