My Luminar 'Likes': Presets to see enhancement options, workspace creations for 'my' style, Erase feature much, much better than Lr, top/bottom image exposure adjusting
My Luminar 'Dislikes': horizon leveling poor, crop not as easy as Lr, no catalog (coming), no batch vetting or keeper and deleters, no HDR merge
It will be a keeper for me.

My current workflow (requesting members workflow steps using Luminar with Lr):
1. Luminar used as a plug-in to Lr
2. Import images to Lr
3. Quick vet Keep-Delete in Lr (with Caps Lock on) Deletes are blurry, unfixable composition
4. Revisit Star Rating 2=personal/private keeper, 3=possibility for sharing, 4=I would share, 5=Cha Ching $$
5. Edit 3 to 5 in Luminar
6. Bring back to Lr after editing in Lr for re-rating and final 'touchups'

Very interested in others views, opinions and work flows

Bogin Bob - Not clear what you are referring to when you say "edit 3 to 5" in Luminar. Do you mean 3 to 5 images? If so, what do you find yourself typically changing? Not referring to your personal style, but what Luminar tools do you most often use. Right now I'm thinking about trying Luminar and/or Picktorial on my MacBook Pro.

Sorry - referring to star rating in line above.
Tools: most tools I highlighted in post erase, presents library, tonal and exposures, like the new AI tool ... With the present library that comes with Luminar and many free presents, I pass my in images through my favorite presents or most used presents and use the intensity slider in each preset to establish an initial draft enhanced photo. If your interested send me a PM and I'll send you a link to my collection of Luminar tutorials and tips.

I gave up on Adobe products a while back. I have Luminar, On1 Photo Raw, Alien Skin and Picktorial on all my Macs and ultimately decided that Picktorial was going to be my go to program for my Fuji X files. While I do revisit On1 Photo Raw and Alien Skin from time to time for some more artful application of an image I for sure do not revisit Luminar. I found the program lacking when it came to wanting to work on several images within my folders as it really only allows one image at a time and no library system of its own to cull images from the start. But most of all I find the program lacking in speed on load up of images and with some tools. Sometimes more is less.

Picktorial is fast, uses the systems filing methods and is extremely smooth and accurate with its incredible flexible number of local adjustments. Just my opinion.

Thank you very much for the app-specific and Fuji-specific feedback. Regards, Ralph
