What is the best picture editor

Get the Adobe Photographers package (Lightoom and Photoshop) for $10 per month. Nothing to beat either program.
Suggest you find training classes, particularly for Photoshop.

Affinity Photo is truly fantastic. And, it is only a one-time purchase of $39.95. Gimp is great also, but I don't think it can handle RAW files.

The DAM aspect of LR is my most important reason for using it. LR itself is a pretty good editor, but the handshaking with PS makes the combination the best for me.
About 3 years ago I spent about 4-6 weeks doing what you have been doing. In my early digital days I kept different versions of edited files and a lot of duplicates and other junk. In addition to culling stuff (60,000 -> 18,000) I took the time to add keywords to the older files that I had put into the system before I really learned how to keyword things. Keywording adds a lot of value to the archives and makes it possible to find photos I've forgotten I took.
I have now incorporated culling and keywording into my workflow to keep things real. http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/user-page?upnum=1584

I used Luminar then Luminar 2018 but wasn’t pleased with it. I am now in enrolled in one of our local university’s arts program/camera class. I just purchased Lightroom/Photoshop as it is a prerequisite for the class. The same Prerequisite was listed for both major art institutes in my city. Interesting that all three schools are private and courses cost about the same. None of the local community colleges offered a camera program.

That's a helpful document, and I recognise many of the elements :-)
I didn't know this:
'I should note that Lightroom has the capability of renaming files at import time.'
and will make use of that in future. ('was this near the Arenal volcano or in Selva Verde?' is not so easily answered twow eyears later!

OK, I HAVE LARGE SELECTION OF EDITORS ON MY PC. HOWEVER I FIND LUNINAR 2018 (PC & MAC) THE WAY TO GO. FOLLOWED BY LR 5.0, NOT V6CC -WILL BE OUT OF CIRCULATION SOON.ALL OTHERS HAVE BEEN A WASTE OF MY $$ AND LEARNING CURVE.

I see you just joined UHH yesterday. Just a tip: when replying to a post if you use "quote reply" rather than "reply", people can tell which post you're replying to. Only important if you are answering a question posted by someone else or commenting on a specific post.
I used "quote reply" here, so you see the name of the person I'm directing this post to.

This is a similar question to: what is the best camera?
The answer is the same: both are as good as the person operating them.
That is why you will see work of art AND snapshots with identical gear.
Good luck though. For features, PS/LR is pretty unbeatable.

IMHO, Lightroom Classic CC is not only the best, but the most widely used. (Includes Photoshop). All others are judged against this industry standard. Not for everyone, but still the most versatile, the most functional, the most universal and the most used. Just my little 'ol opinion, 's-all! Best of luck.

Good question asked and answered many times. I'd use the search feature and read away.

The one you invest TIME into learning. The one that yields results YOU want.
There are many good ones. But your time learning and practicing is as important as which one you choose.
