Well, for advanced uses like you and me F-Spot is fine, but for normal home users it is too complicated. Also it has one huge drawback: it saves all the pictures in a folder structure based on months and dates. This makes it really hard to browse a F-Spot archive from the filesystem or from any other image viewer. I know tagging is the superior way to file and sort your images, but the case for normal home (and business) users is that they still like to think about their image collections as folders. F-Spot sucks at browsing images in folders and to get all the benefits of F-Spot you need to import the images first into the collection. That is an extra step.. Anyway at current Ubuntu defaults, the Eye of Gnome opens all jpg-images, and that is not good. Gthumb would be much better. Neither the the EOG nor F-Spot (in single image viewing mode) allows for any other functions than rotation. Cropping, resizing etc is missing - but can can be found in Gthumb. That is features you can actually find even in the default Windows Vista file browser, so I think this should really get some attention. Can anybody answer to my original question: who makes the decision about this and to who should I present my case?
