Still great, but not that much better than Lightroom 1 Whatever bugs they had in Lightroom 2, they seem to have fixed in the 2.1 patch.

I didn't notice some of the missing features of earlier versions so I'm not sure I'd used them that much - you may or may not yourself. It can be a little clunky if your PC spec is a tad on the low side, and getting used to the new features such as graduated filter can take... more info
