Yes. Change is welcome!
When I read the list of proposed features, it seems to answer needs from people who want to work their photography from anywhere and anything they have. For example, it could improve the joy of travel photography. I could take my pictures, plug the card into a minimal computer or tablet, "work" on them and have them ready for more processing when I get home.
Another thought is that I might be able to "team up" with a friend or colleague to "develop" my RAW images.

If we had PS or LR as an app we had bought outright then we could do exactly what you are suggesting.

It seems like more profit for Adobe to me. Change is bad. Change is evil. Shudder. I just get started learning the old and now the new is already here. LOL

which is why I downloaded a hacking pgm and made backups of my ps6, cause if the disk goes, Id be stuck. I tried CC , nice, was a bit slower than PS6
but I went back to 6 cause I didnt want to be spending another $10.00 a month...

I like to be able to control my data and photos. I do not desire to place my information on the internet but will be happy to place them on my storage hard drives. I prefer to own my programs and do not want to subscribe to use a program.

You don't own programs, you license them for your own use. It's always been that way. Read your EULA (End User License Agreement).

Can't see myself not using LR or photoshop anytime in the near or distant future...As long as it's a part of the whole creative suite.

Highly recommend Corel AfterShot 3 Pro. Used it a bit, and it's better in some ways than Lightroom and not in a several ways. In general, I prefer it to Lightroom, and is quite a bit less expensive as well. Great alternative if you don't like the cost of Lightroom.
Hmm.. and transferring large RAW files over my relatively slow Internet connection... Nimbus does not sound like something I'd be interested in.

"cloud-native app" and 'files and edits' stored in the cloud are non-starters for me.
Dont mind the "Cloud Native App" part but there is no way I will place my images in someone elses storage, (including my edits). If this is the only way to use this software then count me out!!

Lightroom is a software program - bits and bytes - as such it cannot "hate" anything.
It doesn't hate dupes - it even gives you the option to not import dupes if it thinks you already have them on your computer.
It also does't "hate" when you create or move (or delete) files outside of Lightroom. All it asks is that if you do that, you simply let it know so it can keep track of the changes for you.
Lightroom is not a hateful program, in fact it is quite courteous. And all it asks for is courtesy in return.
BTW, while I don't import dupes (I use virtual copies in LR instead), I do import 1000s of files using the OS and/or Photomechanic or On1, THEN, after I've gone through and rated and culled the images, I tell LR what I have done (Import using the Add option). I'll also move and delete files either way - either in LR or outside of it. Never lost a file, never had a problem.
I use smart previews to work on files when off-line.
I also never do finish editing when on the road. I prefer to do that at my desktop - faster, better, profiled display, larger screen, more storage space, etc. I only cull bad images and maybe rate the keepers, at most.

I think with it, one will be totally trusting Adobe to keep all their photographic endeavors safe. Adobe will have total control of them and you will be totally at their mercy. No thanks; I'll keep the control of my stuff and keep it safe myself; even if it means cutting the cord to the internet where all my work is done. Enough is enough with this globalist crap for me.
No one controls my images but me. If I were to stop using Adobe LR and PS, the images are still mine to do with what I please. I can even still use the catalog if I wish to find stuff. What I can't do is use either software application to edit images. But I wouldn't need to, since the only reason I would stop using LR and PS is because I found something else. I am not at Adobe's mercy. Your post reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of how Adobe's software works. I think you'll agree that spending the time reading and becoming informed is far more productive than creating and posting senseless rants.
