How do you deal with your photos?

[moominmolly]

I dislike iPhoto kind of a lot, which makes me curious what different people use to manage/browse/tag/sort/keep their photos. I'm currently using F-Spot Photo Manager (on Linux); what do you use, and on what platform? Lightroom? iPhoto? Aperture? Something else? I personally commonly need to sort photos on Linux, Windows, AND MacOS, depending on the day, so I'm interested in all answers. :)

They may have fixed the issue by now but I tried Picassa a few versions of ago and it took so long to try to catalog my photo-directory that it froze my laptop and crashed it a couple times.
It might be better now, but it totally bit it for me about a year ago on a laptop running Windows 2000.

I had roughly this experience, but I'm willing to believe it has improved. I will try it again...

last I heard picasa had crap for uploading from macos (or at least last my guy complained about it) so I'd check that out.

it was pretty sucky on linux too. didn't crash the laptop, but took so long i had to kill it.
