Lightroom or Aperture?
I've been in doubt whether to bet on Adobe Lightroom or Apple Aperture for a future professional digital photography workflow app. So I was happy to stumble over DigLloyd's evaluation of the matter. (And amusingly he even mentions myself in the article, I'd not heard about it.)

Wow. That reviewer seems overly harsh against Aperture. I've never used Lightroom, so I can't really compare the two programs, but I do use Aperture quite often. I like it a lot, and I did not find it at all difficult to learn. It was all quite intuitive. Some of its features that are bothersome to the gentleman who wrote that review are actually what I would consider its strong points!
For example, I love the idea that your masters are safe in their own folders, and the Aperture program stores versions of them which you can manipulate like crazy without worrying about messing up your originals/masters.
I don't burn things to DVD, so that's something I haven't tried or had problems with.
Anyway, I just wanted to say, I think it's a great program.
(I did enjoy the Eolake reference, although I wasn't clear on whether he expected iPhoto to recognize different breasts with it's "faces" feature, or what! Perhaps in a future version!)
Thanks for your input, good to have balance.
Lightzones may be worth checking out. It's another nondestructive photo editor and organizer.

I use Lightroom an like it. However it wasn't easy changing over from iPhoto to Lightroom. They works completely differently.
In general I don't think there is one true answer for everyone. Different styles of work and different photography backgrounds may lead peole to different programs.
