Well, it's not perfect. But for the price -- free -- it's really very good. Eventually I'll probably upgrade to Aperture ... someday.
As far as library size goes. I use multiple iPhoto libraries. Holding option while clicking the iPhoto icon will allow you to choose among your libraries or create new ones. I had been making a new library every year, but now that I'm shooting RAW format, I'm thinking I might have to make new libraries more often than that. I use a program called CDFinder to catalog the contents of those libraries for searching so I can quickly find what I'm looking for.
