Searching the archive of posts I see some discussion of using LR as a DAM but the posts are from when LR was still a beta. What is the concensous on LR as a DAM? Are there any areas where it falls short compared to iView or Portfolio?

I used iView for a while (before LR came out) but I use LR now for all of my DAM needs. I am not as dedicated as some are regarding DAM, but I keyword and label everything. I really like having everything in one place in LR.

Eric,
Is there anything that you miss by using LR? I have Portfolio but feel like you that LR may be a better overall solution.

Portfolio is multi-user. If you need a multi-user DAM then that's hugely important. LR is a single-user solution; you cannot have multi-user access to the same catalogue.
I see no advantage to Microsoft Expression Media (LOL) over LR, at all. It is also a single-user cataloging app, that can't do any real editing.
