I have used Photoshop for more than 30 years CS-1 through CS-5. When CS-5 would no longer work with later Apple operating systems due to lack of support from Adobe, began subscription to Photoshop and Lightroom about one year ago. Haven't used any other PP programs.

More than 30 years? The first version of Photoshop was released less than 30 years ago.

I subscribe to the Suite. Got the monthly down to $29. Can't argue because
it has InDesign, Photoshop, LR, Illustrator, Acrobat, Premiere. I do graphics, video and photos.
So these are a must for my work. In my opinion these are not replaceable with any other
software. Some are good but this is the Holy Grail.
Adobe has added other interesting software which I am reviewing.
Do I like that Adobe taking control of what we want no.
They are too powerful like, Microsoft an Apple.
Sorry couldnt do the yes or no.

Close enough for government work. Adobe's version will be 30 years old in less than a month. But it was available prior to that, packaged with a scanner.

No it's not X or Y!!!! Some of us use both. So yes to adobe subscribe plus other apps like NIK, Topaz and may play with Luminar.
Then your answer would simply be "subscribe", wouldn't it?

Don't subscribe. Use LR 6.14 (constantly) and PSE (once a year, when I have to deal with text in an image.)
Did subscribe years ago, but since PS is the big value in the package and I used it less and less as LR's Develop module got better (or I got better at using it) I switched to standalone LR. It can handle my cameras' RAW files (Olympus and Panasonic), and does all I need to print the books I do every Christmas. I'm hundreds of dollars ahead on software cost, and I'll always have that even if I do switch to a subscription in the future.
Now I do admit I can't upgrade my Mac to Catalina and keep using LR 6.14 (although I don't see any reason to upgrade, at the moment, anyway.) And if I get a new model camera it's likely to need a newer version of ACR, so I'd have to subscribe. But for the moment, for my needs and for my equipment, standalone is working just fine at no additional monthly cost. Every month I wait I'm $10 ahead.
