I only shoot jpeg. I use Aperture, Lightroom, and/or CS3 depending on the situation. For large shoots I process mainly in LR, then tweak the ones that need it in CS3. As was said above, Bridge is the ultimate browser. Howeverm for speedy workflow on a shoot that is going to have many images processed similarly, LR all the way. For personal work, only PS3 (or PS2, or PS7 depending on the date...I've been a Photoshop guy since '03 and have upgraded each time). Aperture has a great interface and I hope it becomes more powerful. Why don't I shoot RAW? Not to offend, but it seems idiot-proof. I shoot only in manual with or without flash, with flash manual flash..manual all the way. Some swear by RAW and that's cool...I prefer jpeg. Anyway, some thoughts for you...
