    you must enjoy having someone hold your hand like a little kid while you cross the road. In the same way that lightroom forces you to fit into its little areas where you have to do exactly what it wants you to. Fuck that. LightRoom is like iPhoto with training wheels.

    The Aperture UI allows users do what they want, when they want, how they want.
