I keep hearing this argument against iPhoto and iTunes, and I don't
buy it. The mentality comes from "I need to maintain all of my
files," when what you should be doing is letting the software
maintain the files, while you work within the software.
Except that iPhoto is buggy. When you get beyond 15,000 photos or
so, it becomes unstable. In addition to crashing, it gets to a point
where it just won't launch anymore until you blow away everything
it's built. Then you're left with having to muddle thru the messy
directory tree it creates. Additionally, it's support for handling
photo libraries on multiple volumes is nil.
iPhoto is a cute app for the home user that uses his camera a few
times a year. That's about it.
