What software you usually recommending to use for editing raw images? I was using PS, but it's getting a bit expensive.

I would recommend you to check Luminar 4 too, very amazing software for editing images.

Affinity is not bad, but I still prefer Adobe Photoshop, more familiar with it maybe.

PS itself is not raw editing software (it uses Adobe Camera Raw or ACR as a plugin to convert images). I know a lot of people swear by it but I have transitioned to a fully open-source (and therefore free) workflow 15 years ago. Back then, software was pretty clunky but now it sometimes outperforms commercial offerings.
Just similar to using ACR from within PS to convert raw images, I use Darktable both standalone as well as plugin from within Gimp. Occasionally I also use Rawtherapee/ART f.i. for pixelshift images which DT does not handle very well. Darktable, Rawtherapee and Gimp are available on all OS platforms and are of course entirely free and open.
