Try before you buy

I have to agree with other reviews, download the trial version and try it out - 30 day free trial.
Also, try Nikon's Capture NX2 which you can try for 60 days.

I am a PC user. I have to wonder if Adobe users aren't more often Mac users.
What I like about Nikon Capture NX2 is the familiar explorer type interface. I don't have to import files, I just open up the drive/folder and see the list of my files. Click on one and go to work. I felt with Lightroom I was exploring new waters.

As far as capabilities, while I haven't learned either one in depth, they appear to be equal - a photo organizer along with Basic editing tools.
Nikon's Capture NX2 is also less expensive.

Great organizer and work flow processor

Upgrades seamlessly (and free) to LightRoom 2.5, so don't be afraid to get this version now. A lot more than just an organizer, this software will ease your workflow and make import from camera and backup a breeze. Organizes all my RAW and JPEG photos over multiple external drives and disks without a hitch. Lets me view thumbnails of each photo even when the external drives and disks are elsewhere. If I want to edit or print it prompts me to attach the correct external drive or insert the correct storage disk. Just what I've needed. Much more than Adobe Bridge and still interfaces with PhotoShop CS4 when needed. That isn't needed too often as LightRoom 2 can do most of the image processing that I require without needing PhotoShop.

Essential Editing Software For Photographers

Powerful library features coupled with super Develop Presets to transform photos into a magazine-style end product. Was a little hesitant at first given the cost, but results are outstanding. The ultimate photographic management product.

Worth every penny--buy this instead of a new lens!

I've gotten my money's worth from Lightroom. My pictures are pretty good "SOOC" (straight out of camera) but this program makes them so much better. With downloaded presets and add-ins, there is no limit to what you can do with Lightroom and your photos.

Lightroom 2 - Great even on Mac

Lightroom is one of Adobe's finest products. In truth, it's the one Adobe product that consistently I want and need to use on a regular basis. The Lightroom interface is unlike anything else from Adobe. It screams user friendly and entices the user to quickly develop his or her photographs. The interface is surprisingly more Mac-like than Apple's own product, Aperture. The UI is simply gorgeous and makes working with your beautiful photographs that much more enjoyable.

The power of Lightroom is also impressive. The work that can be done to your photographs is not only in depth, but easy to find. Even a new Lightroom user, will likely be quickly up to speed and developing superb images.

Now, digital developing can still be a chore. Working with RAW images, to get just perfect, can become mundane, when you have hundreds or thousands of images to work through. However, Lightroom makes things that little bit easier with a user interface that is unrivaled in this product category. Furthermore, Lightroom can be the perfect application to organize your photo libraries, to easily find what you are seeking.
