Yep, it allows the backend to be setup any way you like, and if you like Metadata-based organization its bloody genius. But I have to use its UI rather than my already well-understood file system organization to find files. Even when I was using it, I found myself switching back to Bridge to find stuff, it was quicker. But I don't use extensive Metadata or keywording (and find such to be bloody annoying to add) which eliminates the advantages and magnifies the disadvantages of Lightroom. -- M.
