Iphoto, at least in the current version, makes all kinds of folders within folders that appear to have nothing to do with organizing pictures. There are folders for thumbs, and cryptic names to these folders and the folders inside them. I used it for a while last year (I have only been in OSX for about a year) and after having to open every single folder under pictures to find my photos, such as my old "2002 - January" folder, which had changed and scattered photos that used to (in Windows) be organized the way I wanted them organized.
I honestly don't care for the way iTunes does it either, but since I download music and manage the playlists on two iPods, it is a necessary evil. While I never liked Windows Media Player, I did like that its playlists, rather than text or whatever files, could be the contents of a folder on my PC. I'm sure iTunes has a way of doing that too, but like iPhoto, it just sorted my music the way IT wanted to the first time, and it has stayed that way.
