Lightroom, Lightroom Classic or Capture One? I would like to know which of these programs you use and what you see as the pros and cons.

Unfortunately Capture One no longer offers brand specific versions, or the company no longer promotes them, such as the Fujifilm version. So I'm currently considering between Capture One Pro 22 (currently trial version) and Lightroom Classic.

The regular Lightroom is kind of too simple in design for me, no idea why, but it feels that way. I also don't like the handling with the cloud that much. I don't think it's bad to have the images in the cloud, but I would still like to have the images on the hard drive. That works of course as a backup, but then I can not or i dont know how, use the folder structure according to my scheme. Or is there a way to implement the file structure on the hard drive as in Lightroom Classic?

I am a software developer myself and I know how much work goes into programming and maintenance, so I don't think it's so bad to invest some money for a great hobby.
