[Leica] (SPAM: ?) Re: If not Lightroom, ...

Again, quite so, Frank!

Here is the predecessor software, announced in 2005:

And here is Adobe's FAQ after  announcement of their acquisition of
Pixmantec in July 2006:

As you can see from the FAQ, Adobe intended from the very outset that
Lightroom would handle "the entire workflow".

Perhaps Mark did not express himself clearly?

Not so Mark.

Even the first version of Lightroom had most of the photo-relevant
manipulation capabilities of the then current version of Photoshop.

It did have these functions organised differently, and added a cataloging
system suitable for photographers, but it was by no means just a browser.

Who told you that it was a browser with add-ons as an afterthought? Somebody
has been really pulling the wool!

cheers,
Frank
