Capture one, last time I looked, also leads the market in high prices. It’s the only major piece of photo processing software I haven’t tried, purely because I could not stomach the price.
If you’re after absolute quality, also check out DxO PhotoLab. It has its limitations and quirks, but the basic quality is second to none.
That’s fair! But it’s not a subscription, and depending on one’s needs, it might be the way to go (especially for Sony users and folks who need tethering). It’s worth mentioning.
I’ll second the recommendation of DxO Photolab. I don’t use it anymore, primarily because I use Lightroom and Photoshop in tandem, but I still use DxO’s PureRaw to convert my RAW files before I process them in Lightroom / Photoshop. The same first rate RAW conversion engine in PureRaw is baked into PhotoLab.
Lightroom wins hands-down for catalogue management, however.
For movie editing; How about iMovie?
(I don’t use either, so this suggestion may be really stupid 
– But sometimes we forget all the great apps that are included with macOS)
very true, we can do basic level of editing in iMovie and which can beneficial for some people.
On that note, I’d personally use GarageBand before I use Audacity again. Same deal.
I’m stealing this comment, for off-line use only 
You may have just saved me a ton of time!
I have to assume that Lightroom Classic is not being maintained, and that I should keep my eyes open for other software options?
Lightroom Classic is not only being maintained, but actively gets new features. The name is a misnomer.
This is fantastic news. Thank you.
