There are lots of good post-processing programs, and some are better (e.g. for noise removal) than anything Adobe offers.
If you "buy" an Adobe product, be aware that you'll be paying rent to them for a long time, and they have been called the most ethically challenged software co. out there.
OTOH, no other product does DAM (Digital Asset Mgmt.) and image modifications all in one package as well as Lightroom. I use it, but don't like Adobe as a co.
DAM is basically a big database setup that keeps track of info about the image and its associated metadata. This -should- be part of the OS, and Apple does a pretty good job of it. But, again, you are being locked into system.
