iPhoto: too many bugs to be useful
Pros
None. You can't even downgrade back to the previous version.
Cons
Lousy user interface made unusable by an utter lack of quality.
Recommended it?
No
Specific to iPhoto (I'm afraid to go near the other apps):
I upgraded because I liked the previous version of iPhoto, and hoped this one would be a little bit better.
I've been struggling to put together a book, and this thing is downright unusable. Pictures disappear, it refuses to import some of them, zooming and panning is a disaster. Unless you go 100% with defaults, you have to go through some strange rituals to get your pages laid out the way you want them.
Even when not working on a book, I really learned to hate this piece of junk. It's especially frustrating because the previous version was actually pretty good.
They broke the full-screen editing, and made a mess of the tools for adjusting and color-balancing pictures. Sometimes the screen just goes blank for no reason. Nothing works as expected.
I have a fairly new iMac, 3GB of RAM, and the latest version of Snow Leopard.
