Like an idiot, I entrusted my metadata to iPhoto. It sucked it up into a proprietary file that no other app (except Aperture) can access. I was seduced by iPhoto's vastly improved keywording and search. Don't be.
Now it is months after the Nikon D3 and D300 were released, and probably other cameras, and iPhoto still will not read the files. Adobe was ready with support immediately. Entrust your photos to a company that actually has a commitment to making your life easier. Not to one that hoards your data and ignores advances in photography.

I never trusted the iPhoto to import all my photos, I learned early on.

I always import my photos into a folder, then I duplicate the folder and work with the copy folder, and store the original RAW photos in case of a problem.

That is a wise policy to follow. Personally, I run all my files through Bridge and automate the RAW processing in Photoshop. If you are serious about cataloging, though, you may want to look at Extensis Portfolio

If you want to access your files in the iPhoto archive, just right click on the archive and select "show contents". There are the pictures.
