Because gthumb is a photo management application as well, which fulfills the same role as Shotwell but with a dramatically better user interface. I know Shotwell will be getting a much-needed redesign soon, but it will be for the Elementary HIG, not GNOME's. It doesn't help Shotwell's case that it doesn't seem to work at all in F21 -- I can't seem to import any photos -- but this is probably a bug that will be fixed.

Looks like it can also bulk rotate and resize, bulk convert to another file format, or run an arbitrary script over the files. > - automatic grouping of photos into events based on the time taken I think gthumb does not do this. > - organizing photos by events, tags or via the file system hierarchy Same with gthumb, though it uses the term "catalog" instead of "event." Hope that helps, Michael
