I started using Aperture when the AppStore launched and spent a few days importing all my photos from my Windows Home Server into various projects (some nested in folders). Once that was done I promptly built 2 vaults, one back on the server (also backed up to JungleDisk) and another to JungleDisk directly. I've also taken advantage of the Flickr integration and built some Flickr albums via the application.
