Should be pretty hard to beat Affinity Photo (price- and quality wise). Apple‘s Photos isn‘t bad either.

Good points here. The only other consideration (and I don't recall if the original poster mentioned this) is metadata management. Affinity offers minimal support in this regard.
Personally, I use a combination of tools:
PhotoMechanic: Ingest, tag and organize both digital and analog (scanned) captures;
Either Capture One (for DNGs that need quick turnaround0 and/or Affinity for all other tasks. In particular, I prefer Affinity's tools for retouching and preparing images for publication (soft-proofing, etc.) and printing.

Photos for Mac that is part of the OS, can handle metadata quite well.
