Nothing to discuss for me. I was in a quandary for a couple of years, had a Lightroom version, pre 6.0, when I got my D850 my version of Lightroom would not handle its RAW files. Few months back Nikon introduced NX Studio which handles D850 and D780 RAW files and does pretty much everything I want for editing Nikon RAW. There are a couple of minor capabilities Lightroom has that NX Studio doesn't, no big deal. I am a minimalist when it comes to editing.
There is a long march of steady tool upgrades since Pre 6.0. Just the tricks and tools that came out alone with 11.0 this week are more than a "couple of minor capabilities".
That said, being a near "SOC" minimalist is still very cool if it works for you, your workflow and your creative goals. You still might have fun taking advantage of a free trial or watching some of the tutorials on the new tools. I think you might be missing some very fun stuff!
