Download it and give it a try - I think you may be surprised. The database doesn't organize photos, it keeps track of where you've organised them. It helps you find them easily and make different collections without having to keep duplicates of your pictures. What are your issues with the database? If you haven't used it, how do you know it's damnable? You probably can do the same things in Photoshop, but you can do them far more easily with a massively better user interface. Remember, the same team that developed PS have applied their experience of all those years, combined it with photographers' specific needs, and come up with something tailored for photographers.
