This lifelong Mac user thinks it stinks
I've been using Macs since 1984-seriously (I still have the original in my storage). And iPhoto sucks. It's clunky, crash-prone and painfully slow. The fact that it makes duplicates of the photos is very annoying and now that I've gone through a few Macs with iPhoto, I have many duplicates and it's become a monster. There should be a duplication eliminator function (is there one? I know there's 3rd party apps but I don't trust them). And it touts the fact that you can edit the photo while still hanging on to the original--but where's the original? At the very least, the iPhoto source files should be easily navigable by a human being. And for all of its "sophistication", why do I need to make ANOTHER copy of it to another folder just to upload it? Since I upload photos all of the time for my work, for eBay, Craigslist, etc. there should be a simple way of avoiding this.
