@elaterite @tryonk If it weren't for the 600GB or so I've got in my library, I'd think about switching. Adobe products work pretty well, and I used them as professional tools for a long time. However, renaming Lightroom to Lightroom Classic and removing pro-friendly features from Lightroom CC gives me the heebie-jeebies. I insist on keeping all my originals on my local drive and making my own backups, so switching is an option. It will just involve a ton of work.
@tryonk It sounds like you know computing well & I agree, Adobe products do work, it's the proprietary nature of their software & the philosophy of the company I don't agree with. The Free Libre Open Source community (FLOSS or FOSS), is for me, a way of life. I donate to the projects whose software I use &, in case you didn't notice, my photography carries a Free Culture Creative Commons license.

@tryonk Regarding storage: I have two 1TB internal hard drives and a third 2TB hard drive. For back up I have four matching 1tb external drives and two 2TB external drives. One set of drives is stored locally and one set off site. I've got a ways to go to fill up the remaining storage on the 2TB drive. But when I do, I'll just get another set of drives. No cloud storage here to *worry* about. And, of course, I wouldn't want to pay for it anyway. I'll control my data thank you very much! 2/2
