In my opinion LR is the only way to go if you want a fully integrated piece 
of well developed software. It has a few detractors, mostly those who object 
to paying monthly for it, but for every detractor there are hundreds of very 
satisfied users.

For serious users there are, I am afraid, very few alternatives. Probably 
the one that comes closest is the combination of Photo Mechanic and Capture 
One Pro. Both are extremely good pieces of software but C1Pro is a bit 
quirky and can take some time to get used to. Once you are used to it and 
used to Photo Mechanic the combination of the two can be very good but they 
are not as integrated as LR is. I am sorry to say that the market has been 
pretty much sewn up by LR, like it or lump it.
