Photos for basic exposure tasks. PE 13 for pixel editing. Don't do graphics.

I have used Photoshop Elements 3, 5, 7, 14 and really feel good about them. And, I highly recommend the book, "the photoshop elements 14 book" by Scott Kelby. It makes all the difference in the world.

To the OP, let us know your conclusions. This is a pretty good survey.
I found out that Photoshop users were definitely in the minority (excluding the previous three gentlemen).

I use Corel Paintshop. LR seems to be the favored program on his forum. I thought it might be interesting to tabulate preferred editors without going into all the various reasons for making that selection. If this has already been done recently, let me know. I probably overlooked it in 'Search'. Thanks.

I use Corel Aftershot Pro 3 and Paintshop Pro 2018. Aftershot is like Lightroom and Paintshop Pro is like Photoshop and Photoshop elements all in one. Both programs cost less than elements alone. The Corel products have 16 bit color depth for most of their features and layers. They also are compatible with PS plugins. There are also quite a few YouTube tutorials available if you don't mind Australian accents.

Thruxton, Thank You for asking the question. I am brand-spanking new to Ugly Hedgehog membership; have trolled the site for a while, finally got the nerve to jump in/join. Your question, as posed, happens to be my first question and it is of utmost interest to me. Even though some have disparaged the nature of the question, most here do not.
I am a retiree with several pre-Intel (G4, G5) mac boxes, an Intel-based Mac Pro, and a custom configured pc. I've dabbled with analog (film) photography for decades, lately with scanning family photos. The computers are set up in a workflow that is geared for photography, and are connected via KVM switches to a Mitsubishi DiamondScan 2070SB crt (VGA) and two DVI color correctable flat screen monitors. Two Epson color-calibrated scanners, and an Epson Stylus Color 3000, serve as I/O.
Through replies to your question, I learn that I am not the only one with an interest in Corel products, and by reading all the replies I gleaned that people largely use Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom if it's the paid-for product, not the pay-as-you-go cloud subscription version. I, too, use paid-for software, primarily because the packages still are either freely available via download and/or through eBay. I use the licensed flavor of Photoshop CS2, because it was written for the power pc (and intel pc). Since these were written for the power pc platform, also Corel Painter 11, GIMP, Akvis Retoucher, Adobe Aperture, Pantone Color Drive, Huey Pro, and Hugin.
Bottom line: If I learn how to use my existing tools as do the pros on UHH, and can demonstrate talent, some day I'd like to offer my services to ad agencies, film studios, etc., here in s. Florida and across the United States. When, finally, someone offers me payment for work, I'll take the leap and buy new.
