Photomator would be a more level Lightroom alternative, odd it's not included in the new Creator Studio package.

That's probably a clue that maintaining Photomator is not on Apple's long-term roadmap. I imagine they'll merge some features into Photos and eventually discontinue it.

That would be the third photo editing software that I like that Apple discontinues and I would very much not like it

Photos would need a lot of work to rival Photomator.

If they're essentially shutting down Photomator development, after doing similar with Aperture many years ago, they do seem very determined to drive people to Lightroom....
