One of the most robust apps I ever use. The workflow support is near perfect and now I am deep amazed about the RAW quality. I strong recommend this product
Aperture 2.x Stability - Version: 2.1, 3/28/2008 05:13PM PST

When I try to import complete folders, after a few minutes of running the entire system will lockup. The clock freezes, and the system is hosed. Hard reboot is required, Microsoft Windows style. I don't think I've come across another program for a few years that has managed to do that on the Mac. So why does it have to be an Apple program?
I've also managed to crash Aperture 2.0 and 2.1 from just importing images from a folder. In this situation it's manages to just crash the application itself and not Leopard.
At this time, Aperture has been removed from my system, and I'm a little irritated with Apple for not doing the necessary testing before it releases it's software. This recently happened with the Lightroom team and their 1.4 release, and I hope both learn their lesson.
I REALLY want to like this program. It's so much more advanced as a platform that Lightroom, but Lightroom has managed to run for a year now without crashing once (even though it's development is rather painfully sluggish).
For me "stability" is more important than a great looking application that's frozen on the screen. Aperture has great promise with it's platform, but if it's greater integration into the operating system means harder system wide crashes, then STAY CLEAR of this this stuff!

I used lightroom till I started trying Aperture. Now I think there are only a few small things that are better/ I like more than in Aperture. Those are exclusive picture correction tools like "noise correction" and the gradation curve. Maybe these things become integrated by Apple one day.
Over all in my opinion Aperture is the more professional and effective tool.
