Is Luminar any good?

I have been working with Luminar, Lightroom, and Photoshop. I love them all and know each one has its pros and cons. The advantage of one is sometimes the disadvantage of the other. But Luminar has some really cool pros that both Lightroom and Photoshop do not have. As an experienced Luminar 4, Luminar 2018 and Luminar 3 user I try to really get into the details of where Luminar shines and where it does not.

It is in ways a review of the latest Luminar but also a reflection on what is best for any photographer's workflow

While looking on the web I found a whole bunch of questions I know I am the right person to answer. Here they are

Is Luminar any good?
Is Luminar better than Lightroom?
Is Luminar easy to use?
Can Luminar replace Lightroom?
Can Luminar replace Photoshop?
