I tried ON1 a while back and if I wasn't so deeply steeped in the Adobe Bridge/Camera Raw/Photoshop workflow as I am, ON1 would be my go-to raw editor, no doubt. I'm just not down with retooling my workflow, and dealing with the associated learning curve that would come with it, to incorporate it at this point. Still, it's pretty amazing in my opinion.

Pretty much this!^^^^^
I keep downloading all these free programs and free trials, but I just don't seem to have the time to put a real effort nor the will in learning them.
I know that one day I will have to replace NIK since it is not supported any longer, but that might be a long time to come, and I'll deal with it then.
