Overall, the good far outweighs the negative and Lightroom has become an irreplaceable part of my workflow.
Lightroom has really grown over the years to become a nearly one stop shop for photo editing needs. Unless you are making drastic alterations to a photo where Photoshop is required, Lightroom can handle a majority of the workflow and also integrates well with organization and has features that allow for the upload to your website via plugins.
Over the years adobe has moved away from single license pricing to a cloud based subscription model and updates occasionally have bugs that take a bit of time to resolve, especially for Mac products.

In my honest opinion, I feel that lightroom is the best color grading software I have ever used. The filter copy and paste option make it so easy for me to batch edit pictures for clients, helping me save time. Although many feel that it's super expensive, I think that it's worth the price. It's a great value for your money.
I started using it about five years ago. For the longest part of my life, I did not understand why I should edit a picture. But when using editing Lightroom, I saw the quality of my images go to another level. That makes it one of the best photo editors available today. If you know how to use Lightroom, you can do some premium editing. I have never seen such a variety of filters in any other application. It provides some next-level editing. There is the convenience of being able to copy and paste the same filter you wish to use on a few or even all images, which saves time on back-to-back editing.
There's only one thing I don't like about Lightroom, which is exporting the files to Photoshop to perform intensive image retouching. Because I am knowledgeable about all Adobe Creative Suites, this is not a big deal for me.

Overall, I enjoy Lightroom. I would probably still be using it to this day if it weren't for the mandatory subscription service.
It's Lightroom. Adobe has set the bar for all photo editing software with Lightroom. Optimization is great for just about any PC I've ever used and it's downright reliable for users from any level of experience.
Monthly subscriptions. I've used Lightroom for years, well before the subscriptions started. It's hard to justify paying for the program every single month when I don't use it often enough and there are other programs without subscriptions that work just as good.

I've been able to complete large amounts of picture processing in less time than I'm used to with other tools, while also handling more automatic operations in a highly user-friendly interface.
Simple method for putting cinematic colors and filters on photographs and then batch-processing many images with the same settings and filters to preserve all of them.
Some simple Photoshop functions may be added to Lightroom to make it a one-stop editing tool for any novice. This can have a significant impact on user experience and use.

Overall experience is good I usually use Lightroom with Photoshop so I do the "deeper" editing in Psd and the "mood" in Lightroom.
I really like that I can use filters on multiple photos and actually work on more of them at the same time.
I don't like the way of importing photos. I know there is a lot of them and the software needs some way to do it, but I would prefer some easier way.
