Perhaps this is the reason Adobe is trying to get those not committed to PS already onboard, this could loose a lot of pros for them, I know I don't/wont support companies who do not support me/us!
Undoubtedly then you don't use any Microsoft software? For sure you're only using Macs as well. With what software do you process words?
I for one never use the file browser built into PS, I know where all of my photos are and have them easily accessible, I never use the RAW converter built into PS, it is, in my opinion, a terrible converter, the update helped a little, but still not a good converter, I use Canon and love both of their converters, you can batch process, with individual settings for each file if you want and have them placed into a folder for you, then just open the folder in PS to work on them for printing.
ACR does all that too. My Canon 10D list has had a blast with this topic in the last two weeks.....
