Well, I think ideally some heavy machine learning and auto classification could be used to categorize photos. I realize it wouldn't work well with growing kids, but if I wanted to view photos by person, a basic grid of all recognized faces would be awesome (That is, a grid of faces, pruned of those that were thought to be duplicates). Similarly, there are times when I would like to drill down by dominant color. Time of day. Etc. Heck, even lens/camera used would be nice sometimes.
So, unfortunately, Shotwell does not do this. As you said, it really only sorts by date. Really the only major advantage it has, is being preinstalled on Ubuntu. It does support a nice workflow where you can cycle through the new ones "flagging" them. Then cycle through the flagged items, for more pruning/editing. Then, publishing to many common online sites is rather straight forward. Even has an option to remove metadata. Not sure how easy it would be to support offloading to a NAS. As I said, I've opted to store everything on a cloud drive. I trust Amazon's data storage more than I would trust my own. All of that said, I am curious to hear what other's workflows are like.
