I know you don't want reasons, but you really have to separate out the tasks these are used for.
For raw conversion:
Lightroom (every image)
DXO PhotoLab
On1 Raw
Capture One (every image from my Sony camera)
For photofinshing (you can't really do finishing work with just raw conversion, but you can get some really good proofs):
On1 Effects
Photoshop
Nik Collection
For restoration and high quality retouching:
Photoshop - it's the best tool out there for this type of work

90% LR (Classic) / 10% PS Photography package.

Fastone and GIMP. Both free.

Wow! Greater variety here than I expected. So far it appears Light Room is the favorite. Thanks everyone for the response. It may help a new UHH member make their selection.
