Also, i love the built-in blogger function. iPhoto has been fine but is slow...it seems to really have a hard time with the large number of photos. I had always heard macs were fast and designed to work with graphics and video...i'm just not seeing it yet. I too hope that google will build a version of picassa for the mac.
iPhoto, according to a lot of the people here who use it often, tends to be quite slow in general no matter what the CPU. I played with it a little bit but personally I didn't notice that much of a slowdown. Of course, I didn't import a gazillion pictures into it so I don't really know how bad the slowdown is.

I have finally had the opportunity to use Picasa for more than a few minutes and it's actually very good. I think choice is great and I do hope that Google would make it available for Mac users. They've already made it available to Linux users, but I don't like how they did this (through WINE). Hopefully they can produce a native version for Linux as well as the Mac soon.
