Bruce, Your characterization of Lightroom is inadequate ... it is a photographic management application with RAW conversion, image adjustment, and presentation tools embedded.
I find that with Lightroom my need for Photoshop's higher level editing has diminished quite a lot compared to how much I need it when using Bridge and Camera Raw to do the RAW conversion processing. Of the past several weeks work, less than 10 of the 150 exposures I've printed have required any editing work outside of Lightroom's facilities. Printing and export to web-sized JPEGs are all handled within the environment too, rather than in Photoshop. And with it's modular architecture, I'm betting that in the future there will be an ecology of third party tools delivered for it to address more specific needs.
