I have to disagree. I've used LR for about a year now and I like it a lot. However, I find the file handling extremely difficult to learn. If you don't use LR to do all of your photo file handling, you can easily end up with a mess.

I still wonder if I am doing things correctly sometimes. I often wonder if I could recreate all my LR files if I were to suffer a HD failure.
