From the review Jonathan recommended:

Bento has no documents. All your data is stored somewhere in the  
ether of your   operating system, much like your iPhoto and iTunes  
libraries. (I've been looking through iPhoto's libraries and can  
sorta of figure out their method, but it's not easy.)

multi-predicate joins
articulated portal sprockets
(Marta, maybe you can translate these phrases for me?)

The entire system seems to try as hard as possible to dispense with  
complex database concepts and terminology. (Dispense doesn't seem to  
mean revert to "simple.")

I have trouble with FileMaker, Bento seems to be even more difficult  
to understand, at least for those of us who only have a six-grade  
database education. I still like AppleWorks database for my uses. But  
after I put Leopard on my machine. I may try it. But then again I  
already own FMP, so why extend myself.
