Pointing out that software can't do something which it easily *could*

That is absolutely the silliest analogy I've seen yet. Software isn't
like a screwdriver, it's malleable and changeable in ways that hardware
isn't. This is evidenced by the fact that Lightroom itself has had
features and capabilities added to it during its transition from beta to
version 1 to version 2. Some of these improvements each step of the way
were driven by users actually complaining about what they perceived as
shortcomings (oh, the horror!)
Not only *can* Ligntroom be improved, I boldly predict that it *will*
be. Yes, I think there will be a version 3 someday. Call me psychic.
They may not add the improvements I want, but if I don't speak out about
what I perceive as shortcomings, it's pretty much certain they won't.
