I suspect for the iPhone/instagram/family pix/snapshot, etc., photographer this is a nice step up from iPhoto (which admittedly I never used.) From a professional that held on to Aperture for as long as possible it is clearly a major disappointment - at least at this stage of its development. Maybe it will get better?
As much as I detest Adobe on a number of levels (starting with hostage ware, but extending back for several years), I really don't see a way out of Lr and PS6. I've refused to go with the handy-dandy $10 a month DEAL for a number of practical and philosophical reasons. On the positive side I'm using things like DXO 10 more and more and beginning to play with McPhun's stand alone apps (along with the always useful Photomatix for HDR). Pixelmator continues to improve but I haven't really moved to it.
Still, my cataloging is locked up in Lr with all the pluses and minuses associated with that love/hate bit of software. I keep thinking there is an incredible software opportunity here for some truly creative developers, but maybe the old truism that monopolies smother and prevent change are true.
