So some of us took the time to learn to use LR and that makes us snobs, aka self education is snobbery? Because we disagree we are wrong? Some people go to school and eat the books!
Hey, if you are one who comes off as a snob, well, as they say, if the shoe fits.
Enough of this. I stated my experience. No one can deny there are many who have tried it, don't like it for a variety of reasons, and now use any one of the excellent alternatives out there. I'll also say that for the professional, it's probably a must. But I stand by what I say. Some, and it's not many and I won't name names, come off as real jerks toward those who don't think the way they do or might be having a problem. This is the nature of online forums like this where people can hide behind their computers and say things, or put people down in ways they would never do to their face.

You most likely mean "me" except that I am far from "know it all", but just as the OP's case, people with external hard drives, many time several of them being used, it is easy to blame the program and it may NOT be the program. The way I read your post is that LR is so bad that it isn't worth using it.
So how are so many able to use LR without issues?
Bottom line? It isn't as bad as you make it sound like. Did you expect everyone to agree with you?

Just getting my thoughts and experience out. I really don't give a flying f*k whether you or anyone else agrees with me. You are just proving my point about the nose in the air snobs infesting this forum.

Sorry, reading what I said I can see where you thought it was directed toward you. Actually I appreciated your comment. I think you know the one's I'm referring to.

Or user idiot-syncracies.....
Or just maybe it was a problem peculiar to my computer and LR that just didn't work. Of course I don't expect snobbish know-it-all's to except that. It's much easier to infer someone is just too ignorant or stupid to use LR. How soon they forget about the countless posts on this forum from others who have had problems with LR. But, then again, I suppose those people are just not as bright as the chosen elite name callers who infest this forum.

Not a good way to judge LR. It has the largest user base for a reason and Adobe is breaking sales records. There is a reason for that. At some point you should realize that maybe, just maybe the issues are due to user errors.
No, not user error. Enough said.

This is just one reason why I will never use Lightroom. Everything I see posted here sounds like a royal pain with cataloging. LR just takes over. I don't want that. In fact, I don't want any program cataloging my photos for me. Seriously, the only time I tried Lightroom it screwed up my computer so bad that I had to reformat my hard drive and re-install Windows. Never again. Not worth the headaches.

Shot with a Nikon D3100, 55-300 VR Kit Lens at 170mm through a nasty old single pane, unwashed window from about 20 feet away. I think it came out reasonable.

One of many reasons I don't go to the doctor. They get their claws into you, find all kinds of reasons to push more pills at you, and demand you come back every three months or sooner. The only thing I take is thyroid since I had mine removed due to thyroid cancer back in 1978. I aim to keep it that way until I croak.

Oh, how I wish I had learned touch-typing when I was younger. I envy people whose fingers fly over the keys with them even looking. As it is, I can type fast, but I have to look, and my fingers often pick up extra letters, so I have to go back and delete them. At least 'spelling correction' helps me to see and correct my errors. So how do you people do at the keyboard?
I learned to type in school back in the 60s. Best thing I ever did. I got to where I could type over 100 words a minute. The fingers aren't quite as fast today, but, I still type fast using all of my fingers and never having to look at the keyboard. Do they even teach typing today in schools?

Yes you can open a jpeg in raw and yes you are editing a jpeg and as far as I know in Adobe raw. When it comes to saving the jpeg at the end of the edit Adobe asks what to save the file as and I save it to another drive using the same file name as the original jpeg. At no time does Adobe convert the file to raw. Although Adobe does ask you what to save the file as. I was just saying you can open a jpeg in Adobe raw and edit it there to some extent.
OK, now that makes sense. It was just worded a bit odd before. I'll stop pulling my hair out now. I obviously don't have much to spare.

Hate to be nitpicking here, but, you may be a pro but what you said tells me you don't really understand RAW. You said, "I can do some raw editing when I open a jpeg in raw". I don't even know what that means. On face value it seems you are saying you can take JPG, open it in RAW (?) then edit it like a RAW file. If you only have a JPG, you don't have a RAW file to work with. Yes, you can open a JPG in an editor that edits RAW, but, you are still only editing the JPG. OK, I'll stop pulling my hair out through frustration now.

To each his own, but, I'm not a professional or semi-professional. I've been shooting exclusively RAW (NEF) since it became available to me. I taught myself to use Nikon Capture NX2 for post processing. I can process a RAW image just as quickly as a JPG and get better results since the RAW file has a lot more data to work with. Not sure what you mean by an "average photographer, but, that's kind of a slap in the face to infer they are too stupid to learn RAW processing. It isn't rocket science.

Perhaps we should just put up signs to the recommended selfie location, it might thin the crowd a little!
Or suggest that it's really cool to get a selfie on rail road tracks in every place you visit, it's a once in a life time opportunity...

Look at the two ladies on the rock. They are dancing and having a great time. No fear. In the second shot, one guy is crawling and the other has gone as far as he's going to go. Totally petrified.

Just a quick observation that has been brought up many times before. Will many of you please start using the "Quote Reply" button when answering someone so we know who it is directed to. Some of these responses, without the context of who it is directed at, make no sense at all.
Just a tip to make these forums work better.

Yeah, but if you had a D7 that first picture would have been Saturn with all its rings. The second one would have been a Bengal Tiger. You obviously need new equipment.
Seriously, like I said above, the proof is in the puddin. These are both very nice photos, no matter what camera you used.

Bengal Tiger taken with same camera and lens. LOL! Sorry, just had to do this.
