After far too long a wait, today, Google released the first beta of Picasa for Mac. Picasa is a free, powerful photo management tool that includes many photo editing operations that the Mac native iPhoto lacks. In addition, Picasa is tightly bound to Picasa Web Albums, the first 1GB of which is also free, in contrast with Apple's MobileMe, which runs $99/year.

Okay, maybe it doesn't follow the official Apple interface guidelines, and maybe the widgets aren't 100% native...
But after playing with the Mac beta for Picassa, I'm pretty pleased with it. It does a lot more than iPhoto, and doesn't leave me feeling like the software is treating me like an idiot "for my own good".
The true test will be my wife, who has been unhappy with iPhoto's limitations for some time now.
