Comparing to f-spot very favorably ... it doesn't drag whole VM machinery, and feels pretty fast (I don't have any *sharp* packages installed though, so it is some time last time I had personal experience with f-spot). Truth to be told its functionality is limited to f-spot (it can call Gimp on selected image, but doesn't do almost any image manipulation itself), but that's debatable whether image collection manager should duplicate functionality of Gimp. And of course, patches welcome :). Comparing to eog is unfair to eog ... viewing of images doesn't cover the main functionality of jbrout, which is management of the collection of images -- tagging (all tags stored in IPTC keywords, no database, just a cache), plugins, export to flickr/picassa/your own webpage/email/etc, fast search. Take a look at http://jbrout.free.fr/index.php Anyway, initial caching of all metadata takes some time, but otherwise it feels reacting instantenous ... I have a developer's machine though, so I may not be right person to judge on this. Try it for yourself!
