I would still stick to gtumb. F-spot is still young and immature. I think
it's going to be a great app, but it's not there yet. For instance, I can't
look at a photo in F-spot, and easily open it in gimp, which would make
sense, since F-spot's photo editing capabilities are practially
non-existent. But, it won't let me do that. I would have to find the file
with nautilus. But, in gthumb, this is a right click away.

I also find that in full screen mode F-spot tends to render my pics very
slowly. I can see it making a second pass. On a machine as powerful as mine,
there's no excuse for this. It's still too slow to display large files
quickly. Again, not the case in gthumb.

My only hope is that as F-spot matures, and start to really replace gthumb
as the GNOME photo app of choice, that it imports gthumbs comments and
categories. This will make moving over so much easier.
