I've been working with CS3 a bit more lightly than with Lightroom. Yes, a lot of the features made it into Camera Raw 4, and Camera Raw 4 will share most processing parameters with Lightroom.
But I prefer the organization of features and interface in Lightroom vs CS3/Bridge/Camera Raw. And the CS3 suite does not work as well as a management tool, at least what I see of it so far. Over the past four days, I imported 17,000 exposures from 2004-2007 into Lightroom (by reference) and am finding it an extremely capable tool for browsing that image base, pulling together and grouping interesting work into groupings across the whole library, keywording, etc. quite aside from its capabilities as a RAW/image processing tool. It puts into question just how much I'll be needing CS3, but I know there will be some things that I must have Photoshop for.
