Strengths: encompassing file (photo) handling & editing capability, ability to integrate add-ons (e.g., Flickr uploading) & presets (many free ones online), enormous on-line (Adobe & others) tutorials (text & videos), easy integration with Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, & others.

Weaknesses: FEW! but no ability to "lock" files to ensure no unintentional / accidental future editing takes place is one.

Summary: Indispensable best-of-breed 1-stop program to manage, edit, & view photos - especially when shooting RAW photos. Additionally, LR's powerful editing capabilities do 95% of what I would do in Photoshop (at a fraction of the cost). Intuitive, easy, & fun to learn - especially with all the (free) video tutorials available on line. NO hesitation to recommend.

Strengths: Powerfull organizing and processing features.

Weaknesses: confusing interface and renaming function.

Summary: Allows me to organize thousands of images easily. While I would appreciate an easier way to change modes, keep folders snycronized and rename files overall I find Lightroom indispensable.

Strengths: Applications far exceed what I originally expected.

Weaknesses: The "help menu" is not user friendly.

Summary: The software is smarter than me, and overall is a very program. I am still learning to navigate through all the options that it has to offer in digital photo manipulation. I wish some of the options were little more user friendly.
